An important email was sent to all Tier I NGOs on 24th February, 2011 regarding utilization of donations through GiveIndia. Please click HERE to see the email.

Please note that 100% donations through donation options created by you for our website are directed to poor beneficiaries. Therefore, donations to the donation options of Tier I NGOs are covered under ‘Relief of poor’.  This mail is to inform you that previously iGive donations could be utilized for any purpose the NGO chose; now the iGive funds too need to be used for either of the 4 categories as defined in our email.  And if you utilize the iGive donations entirely for poor beneficiaries, then it would qualify under "relief of poor".

Any questions or difficulties related to the challenge - please get in touch with Rakhee ( rakhee@giveindia.org ) or Tarika ( tarika@giveindia.org ).

Overdue Reports and  Donation Options

From April 1st 2011, if an NGO has even one overdue report, we will temporarily disable the donation options of the NGO, till the root cause for delays in utilization/sending feedback reports is fixed, and the overdue reports are sent. Of course, NGOs will receive enough advance notice- an email regarding the overdue report/s and those reports that will become overdue in the next 30 days- and will get 7 days to send in the feedback reports on time, before we temporarily disable the DOs. Delays caused due to late disbursement will not result in disabling of the DOs. Note that we will continue to send you the regular reminders that you receive from us as well.
