What else?
How do we choose these NGOs?
We do not just go by word-of-mouth publicity. The members of our team, have directly worked with the organizations listed here.
Does that prove them legitimate? NO.
But rest assured, we have cross checked each organization's work since the outbreak, and we trust them. Again, please understand that these are MICRO SCALE SELF HELP GROUPS, local NGOs. Their only way of showcasing legitimacy is through their work, and we have ample examples shown below to describe that.
Why micro scale groups?
We are committed to help target population. Not taking anything away from large scale organizations, but in our experience, micro scale groups are QUICKER in helping out targeted population (homeless people of a region in kolkata, a few local settlements in delhi, feeding the population from the informal settlements in Mumbai etc) and they are EXTREMELY TRANSPARENT. Hence, our portal will be ONLY RESTRICTED TO MICRO SCALE ORGS.
Why only a few NGOs?
As explained, this is not a full fledged business portal. A group of trusted volunteers are working on this PILOT ENABLING PLATFORM. We want to focus on ensuring legitimacy, and quickness of disbursal during these testing times. For large scale repository of NGOs, Ketto and Milaap are doing great work. This portal is more focused and local in scale.
What other means do we provide to ensure transparency?
You can also choose to use this page as an information portal. We will provide the selected list of VERIFIED MICRO SCALE ORGANIZATIONS, complete with all possible details, and you can contact/pay them directly too. This website is meant to provide greater outreach and we will provide all means to an end.
If you choose to trust us with your donations, we will provide you will confirmation of receipt and disbursal. We will also request the organizations to reach out to you in appreciation!
What can we NOT DO?
We CANNOT provide you TAX REBATES. There are ample organizations, CM/PM funds where you can choose to donate and get tax rebates. We have faith in such organizations to work in tandem towards a common good. However, this portal was created based on urgent need, and we can only direct your help to the most desperate in need.
We can only PROMISE, your support to these groups, will INCREMENTALLY HELP THE GRASS-ROOTS LEVEL OF INDIA.
NOTE: With time, as we find more legitimate groups who need support, we will update/append to our list. If you have information on such groups/organizations, feel free to reach out, and we will try to accommodate them.
All in good spirit!
