An NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) is a non-profit organization that operates independently of the government and works on social, humanitarian, environmental, or community development causes.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a legal requirement under Indian law that mandates eligible companies to allocate a portion of their profits toward social development activities through registered NGOs or implementing partners.
You can verify an NGO’s authenticity by checking its legal registration, 12A and 80G certification, FCRA registration (if applicable), annual impact reports, and listings on recognized platforms such as NGO Darpan or GuideStar India. For example, organizations like Spherule Foundation publicly disclose compliance credentials including 80G, FCRA registration, and empanelment status to maintain transparency.
To donate safely, ensure the NGO has valid 12A and 80G certification, transparent financial reporting, a verifiable office address, and regulatory compliance. Many established NGOs, including Spherule Foundation, provide official donation channels and documentation to ensure donor trust and accountability.
