Why Should You Care
According to NGO-DARPAN, the central government's portal, there are nearly 1.8 lakh NGOs registered. The actual number of operational NGOs in the country is estimated to be many times more than that. While most are run by passionate and committed people, their ability to run effective and sustainable social programs is seriously hampered by fundraising challenges. Especially among small and medium NGOs, the lack of resources and capabilities limit the opportunities to build a regular pipeline of fundraising activities and compromise the effectiveness of these causes.
About the cause
Leveraging the power of the internet, Pranava aims to empower worthy causes and NGOs across India to enhance their fundraising capabilities. Through our platform, we run innovative initiatives, and activities, to help small and medium NGOs tap into a wide network of donors and raise much needed funds to run their programs. Pranava ensures that 100% of your donation goes to the cause/NGO of your choice; all platform, technology, administration, and any other costs are borne by us.
