How PSI helped NGOs secure funding from various sources and donors?

Funding is one of the most crucial and challenging aspects of running a non-governmental organization (NGO) in India. NGOs need funds to implement their projects and activities, to sustain their operations, and to scale up their impact. However, finding and accessing funds is not easy, especially for small and grassroots NGOs. They face many barriers, such as lack of awareness, skills, resources, networks, and credibility.

That's why PSI offers various services to NGOs, such as NGO registration, project proposal, digital marketing, fund raising, and more, is here to help. We have a team of experts and professionals who can help NGOs secure funding from various sources and donors, such as:

• Government: The government of India offers various schemes and programs to support NGOs working in different sectors, such as health, education, environment, women, children, etc. We can help NGOs identify and apply for the relevant schemes and programs, such as [CAPART](^2^), [NABARD](^3^), [Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment](^4^), etc. We can also help NGOs comply with the legal and financial requirements and regulations, such as [FCRA], [Income Tax Act], etc.
• Corporates: The corporates in India are mandated to spend 2% of their average net profits on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities under the [Companies Act, 2013]. We can help NGOs tap into this huge potential source of funding by connecting them with the corporates that share their vision and mission. We can also help NGOs prepare and present their proposals and reports to the corporates and showcase their impact and value proposition.
• Foundations: The foundations are charitable organizations that provide grants and donations to NGOs working for social causes. We can help NGOs research and identify the foundations that match their objectives, activities, and beneficiaries, such as [Aga Khan Foundation], [Ford Foundation], [Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation], etc. We can also help NGOs write and submit their grant applications and follow up with the foundations.
• Individuals: The individuals are the people who donate or contribute to NGOs out of their personal interest, passion, or generosity. We can help NGOs reach out to and engage with the individuals who are willing and able to support their cause, such as [GiveIndia], [GlobalGiving], [Ketto], etc. We can also help NGOs create and maintain a database of their individual donors and supporters and communicate with them regularly.

We have helped many NGOs in the past with our fund raising services and expertise. For example, we helped NGOs distribute 18,000 sewing machines, 6,000 laptops, and thousands of agri products to the needy across India. We also helped NGOs register with NGO Darpan, write winning project proposals, and create an effective digital marketing and branding strategy.

We are passionate about helping NGOs achieve their goals and make a positive impact on society. We are always ready to assist you with your fund raising needs and challenges. If you want to know more about our services and how we can help you, please contact us today.
