How we are different from other NGOs?
Here are some of the things that make us unique:
1. We raise funds for ourselves, but offer you the chance to donate to any of a wide range of NGOs that have cleared specific norms of credibility and accountability.
2. We work hard to keep our cost of fundraising down to a single digit - 15%. Most other funding intermediary organisations spend between 30-50% on fundraising.
3. we offer you a wide range of donation options' from NGOs working on all 10 causes(any) .
4. We will provides you with in-depth details of NGOs listed with us.
5. we will sends you a feedback report on every donation** you make. This feedback contains details about the beneficiary and that lets you know how your money has made a difference.
