Many NGOs and organizations for social change have mushroomed in India in the previous decade but very few have expanded on the basis of scale and the impact on the community. After all, it’s a herculean task to scrape through red tapism in the government to be able to establish an NGO in the first place.
And considering the lack of transparency in transactions in our country, donations and sponsorships too are not easy to receive too. In spite of all these hurdles, there are a few NGOs that have made substantial social impact in India until now.
Contents
Smile Foundation
Formed in 2002, the Smile Foundation promotes the cause of education amongst underprivileged children. The people behind the Smile Foundation have envisaged children to be the building blocks of the future and hence have developed programs ranging from healthcare, education, livelihood, women empowerment to a system where privileged children can help their underprivileged counterparts.
To cite a more familiar example, the award winning documentary “I am Kalam” that was based on a cause for children was supported by the Smile Foundation.

Nanhi Kali
Nanhi Kali is a sponsorship project that was started by Anand Mahindra in 1996, with the aim of breaking the vicious circle of poverty in India by educating the girl child. In partnership with 21 others NGOs that help the Nanhi Kali project to implement its cause, every sponsor gives a selected girl child the required academic and material support.
You too, can sponsor the education of a girl child with just Rs. 2400 or Rs. 3600 a year and get regular reports regarding her progress. Did you know that the goal of Project Nanhi Kali is to support education for 1,00,000 girl children by this year end?

GiveIndia Foundation
Most of you might have heard about the ‘Joy of Giving Week’ celebrations that find national coverage in the Indian media each year. This week of giving is hosted by GiveIndia Foundation which doesn’t do hands-on grassroots community work, but holds a unique position amongst Indian NGOs because. Why? Because it acts as an online and offline donation platform for more than 200 Indian NGOs that have been scrutinized through the GiveIndia scanner for their transparency and credibility in operations.
If you donate through GiveIndia, they will tell you exactly where your money has gone and follow it up with a feedback report. This organization for social change set up by an IIM-A alumnus has been the recipient of many awards for their work in creating accountability in the area of donations.

Goonj
Listed by Forbes as India most powerful rural entrepreneur organization, Goonj has overtaken several milestones in adding value to the community in the past.
With the famous “Vastra Samman” program, Goonj has mobilized recyclable and re-usable items like clothes, books, grains, exports surpluses and much more from urban to rural centers.
With many donations points across the country, Goonj has been successfully channelizing more than more than 70,000 kgs of material every month, has a team of more than 300 volunteers and partners with 250 other organizations.

HelpAge India
Set up all the way back in 1978, HelpAge India has been providing support to India’s abandoned, poor and isolated elderly folk. Amongst many other ancillary functions to support the grey population of India, HelpAge India plays a critical role in influencing policy change for the elderly in governments and providing emotional and material support to the abandoned elderly.
From opening physiotherapy centers to sponsoring cataract operations, from providing help lines for the elderly to help them understand and fight for their rights, HelpAge India has come a long way. Did you know that this NGO also represents its cause in the National Planning Commission of India?

A small village living me. We want some development of this village some best help
I have an ngo idea but nkt able to decide how to start it. Basically my idea is that now a day many people are not able to get loans either because of the high rate of interest rate of beacuse bank dont give them. I have aan idea that we will take donations from people whomsoever want to give they can give the money and i will keep the money in bank. Normally a bank gives maximum of 4? rate of interest on savings account and take a minimum of 9-10? of rate of interest on any kind of loan . So i thought that the donation which gets collected i will keep it in bank so bank will give 4? interest and till that i will find the people who are actually in neend of thar money and promise and guarantees to pay money back so i will provide them with money with 5? rate of interest
So it will be beneficail to them as they get their money at the time of need and also with low rate of interest and our donationis also utilised and every time we get a fix rate of interest of 4? so as time willmpass money will make.more money and indirectly make us capable of giving more funds to more people and our reach will extend. So anytime we will have the money to help some needy and we wont get inti loss.
I have this idea i want to know what are the breakpoints of it where all places this idea cango wrong please do help. And give suggestion so i could think upon it.Thank you.
Good idea please let us know we are ready to join hands with you in implementing this. First of all we need to either register ourselves with RBI or any existing player in the market. Generally mutual funds support higher interest rates, but do not give guarantee for the principle, we have to work on a model where the fund operator gives a guarantee for the principle, and the interest. I will be available on [email protected].

Awsome article. NGO’s are real gamechangers! Now they should start
concentrating more on wildlife consrevation,
reforestation and preserving the nature.
Also funding for education of the poor. It’s
time for the gamechangers to step up their level!
Multiple of NGOs r mushrooming in.developing India. Do we really have a stable career oppurtunity in.this field.
I remember once I participated into ‘Joy of Giving Week’ which had been celebrated in my school 4 years ago, it was fun to do such things in school as many don’t understand why we are doing this.
Once asking for donation a parent questioned me regarding ‘Joy of Giving’ like “why this school is wasting time into such celebration rather teaching pupils?”
I had no answer to that Q. Maybe I didn’t knew what is ‘Joy of Giving’ then, OR maybe I wasn’t motivated towards its cause.
But now I am love this week, and I donate as much as possible in this whole week, from soft-toys to my old dairies(unused ones), I give all to super cute children’s.
I had seen many NGO, School & College children’s distributing juices in this whole week of ‘Joy of Giving’ to all pedestrians on footpaths, railway stations, local markets, etc
the work of a NGO is not easy task. some times NGOs make tuff task very easy and simple. when people in trouble

Respected Mr.Anshu Gupta Ji, Congratulations to you and your team.
good to hear that our GiveIndia is featuring here.
Thanks for featuring GiveIndia here.
I would like to know how did you arrive to rate them as top ngos.. there are many ngo working at grassroots in villages helping a large number of beneficiaries.. though I am not taking anything away from these ngo too… but I feel that a systematic manner of ranking can be developed like no of beneficiaries, amount of income increased..etc.
Do not donate World Vision. They are using our money to spread christianity and to convert children to that religion.
definetely but there are genuine ngo which seeks real doations to women empowerment which could not able to reach the final result by lack of funds to our ngos.
well done….keep up the good work:)
