Listing with GiveIndia

• What does listing of a NGO with GiveIndia mean?
  • When we list a NGO, we carefully scrutinise it to see if it meets GiveIndia’s Listing Criteria and a few other criteria to determine whether or not the organisation is eligible to be listed on our site. The criteria are objective and the entire listing process is done in a transparent manner. Our team invites applications from NGOs, verifies their documentation, obtains validations or references and if necessary, organises a visit to the NGO, before certifying the organisation's compliance with the norms. Once an NGO meets all the norms and signs an MoU with us, we list them on our website.

• We are a NGO hoping to get listed with GiveIndia. How do you select NGOs?
  • We request you to fill out a short online form (at this link http://bit.ly/IREWmC) to help us in our listing process. We will get back to you once we receive the filled up form.

• Once my NGO completes the process and gets listed on GiveIndia, what kind of support can I expect?
  • Once your NGO is listed on the GiveIndia website, it will have:
    1. The opportunity to raise funds from a large number of individuals, both within India and abroad.
    2. A chance to join a group of over 200 select pre-certified NGOs with access to a substantial donor base.
    3. Inclusion in all of GiveIndia's fund raising activities, such as Payroll Giving.
    4. The ability to showcase a significant amount of information to a wide variety of donors.
    GiveIndia recommends its pre-certified NGOs to Corporates, Foundations and High Net worth Individuals for partnerships before seeking out other NGO partners, if required.
