While we share only those NGOs which are financially supported by corporates or funding agencies or philanthropists or are started by Ashoka Fellows or TED speakers .... CSRidentity.com is aware that there are reports, videos that suggest that corporates or funding agencies or philanthropists are supporting some NGO Brands with some purpose which is not development oriented, some do it with purpose of saying they donate but asking NGO Brands to give some of the donations back to them. But this is what we hear and we dont have legal proofs and do not want to enter into legal zone..

Therefore we request all the corporates, funding agencies, philanthropists to do their own credibility check before partnering with NGOs for community work. Yes, even if we share the NGO Brands, it is not possible to check credibility of 100 000 NGO Brands in one life and ultimately donors are giving their money to them, so they must be careful and also see the impact the NGO makes with the donation they receive.

Does this mean that CSRidentity.com is not taking responsibility ?
We are trying to save your time. So from thousands of NGOs which you are bombarded with, we share those that are financially supported by corporates, funding agencies, philanthropists, started by Ashoka Fellows or are TED speakers. So we are saving your time with clear guidelines.
If you dont tell a doctor that you have diabetes, he will give you medicines which are not good for diabic patients. While doing an operation, they check everything, in day to day medicines like fever or cough or cold, they dont ask you what is your suger level.

In online medical advice, a doctor depends on what you share and she or he cant be blamed if they are not told right things.
We are like online doctors and share guidelines.
So dont blame us when you donate to an NGO without checking it yourself.

Whether it is Corporate or Corporate Foundation or Funding Agency or Philanthropist with talent & experience, they know how to select NGO partners. In the volatile situation that the world is facing now, they are more careful.
They know the unfortunate fact that NGOs dont have succession planning. So in case the founder leaves the NGO because of age or accident or leaves the world, the NGO collapses immediately or in a year or two, if it has no succession plan. And the founder's daughter or son may not be capable to handling the NGO because they have to professionally manage funds and not emotionally handle funds because the funds are given by corporates or FAs or philanthropist or retail donors for the community using the NGO as media. That is why founder Sanjay Kumud Moreshwar Bapat whose one son is disabled and the other is a doctor, wont give CSR Consulting or Developed Nation Network Trust to any of his sons but to professionals who will do their role of helping the world through CSRidentity.com and not those who pay the money to get more money.

How we select NGO Brands ?
We think all NGOs are brands.
But know the NGOs are started by humans, so like corporates or media or any organisation, some NGO Brands are good, some dont use the funds for communities or some use for anti government or religion promotion or give some moeny back to donors for the purpose both of them know.
We thought of NGO Credibility checking but founder was part of a team which debated about NGO Credibility in India in 2001-2002 and within IndianNGOs.com, we had a team which looked at various criteria to look. And we realised it will take 3 to 6 months to study an NGO character in detail by visiting the NGO, the communities they serve, the related media or the funding agencies or corporates financing them, the related government authorities ....

It is not at all practical to do it in a large country like India and now that we plan to cover all countries, it is not right to even think that we can do it. So saying it or taking money to do 10 NGO's credibility in a year, is wrong.

So what is the way out because we plan to share 25000 NGO Brands issuewise and countrywise in 2022-23 ?
The best is

How we select NGO Brands
There are millions of NGOs in this world.
If the charity is good and works in a small village or location or in forest, they work on multiple issues. If the charity of NGO is in city, they focus on 1 to 3 issues or maybe 5.
These NGOs or charities work on multiple issues

We invite donors (Corporates, Corporate Foundations, Funding agencies, Philanthropists, celebrities) just share the name of the NGO they are partnering with alongwith Issue the NGO partner works and the related country.
We also invite organisations which give fellowships to individuals like Ashoka or Ted to share the related info. Ashoka has about 3500 fellows from 90 plus countries (founder got Ashoka Fellowship in 2005).

We know we cant check credibility of 50000 NGOs in one year or 20 years or 200 years because credibility depends on the leaders who govern the NGO.

Bhau & others postponed founder's death on 28.08.2013 maybe because he has not served Mother Earth enough.
Life with responsibility is joyful living.
And the fun is if the NGO receives fund without knowing who promoted them.
But let the NGOs dont know our name, we want funders to know us, so that they can share free the NGOs they fund.
So promoting NGO Brands is a selfish motive because founder wants to enjoy satisfaction of helping without noticed.
And the NGO can be anywhere in the world.

So the best way is
1) Let Corporate, Corporate Foundation, Funding Agency, Philanthropist (from any country), who have CSR Budget or Funding budget of Rs 1 crore or USD 0.13 million share the names of NGOs.
They dont have to give any amount to us. We share the NGO Brands with link to their website on related issue.
They just have to share a link on their official website which gives names of their NGO Partners.
(We dont want letters because then it becomes a personal thing, they should share related link)
Some celebrities may not have their own website but have facebook or whatsapp pages. In such cases, a personal letter is required because in faebook or other such portals millions of their followers write various non NGO related things and we dont want people to come to us to see that, it is better they go to such pages on their own.

2) If the NGO founder is selected by Ashoka for fellowship.
Ashoka has about 3500 plus fellows in 90 odd countries (Founder is fortunate to be an Ashoka Fellow for his social enterprise IndianNGOs.com which is the parent company of CSR Consulting which takes care of CSRidentity.com, a social enterprise whose canvas is this world & universe)

3) If the NGO founder is invited on TEDX or organisations which directly dont collect money for NGOs

4) An enterprise started by our global example, Venkat Krishnan or NGOs recommended by him (ideally we think world will be great if we have one Venkat type person for each continent or greater if each country has Venkat type fellow but we know it is toooooooooo much expecting to have such greats. So let it be a dream)

Note
Having talked with some corporates, funding agencies, we will not share NGOs which are working on politics or with naxalites or terrorists or promote sex or promotes criminil activities (of course we will support NGOs which work with people within Jail to ensure their change of behaviour or taking care of their parents, spouse and children and are thinking of helping Thane Jail directly as well as through some others)

Of course we will promote NGO Brands to donors by investing our time.
But money can help us promote these brands with more professional organisations in different countries. That is why we want organisatons to support social, health, climate issues.

Responsibility is to help all NGO Brands and not just 1.
NGOs within the country are shared alphabetically. No NGO can come in the top 10 even if their corporate partner pays several times more because we have to take care of all NGO Brands responsibly and our NGO, Developed Nation Network Trust will come in D in the issue it supports not first or last NGO.

Give billions of dollars but ensure that it has impact.
Just emotion driven giving can be just a percent of your total giving.
99% of your donation must be impace driven.

And when you are emotionally driven, let the charity or the NGO which received the donation be professioanal. It has to be a social enterprise for its own sustainability because the giver will expire one day but the charity or the NGO should not expire if the donor (and yes, if the founder) expires.

From the donors look at the ROI.
ROI is not financial returns.
Here R = Returns (Satisfaction)
O = Opportunities to help social cause
I = Impact of donation

Politicians, Political parties & Thane
Our global example is Thane and many think Thane plays great role in Politics.
It is interesting that we have dealt with politicians.
Founder's school mate Rajan Vichare is Member of Parliament of India (twice as of now)
Founder took some session and used to know Shri Vinay Sahastrabuddhe when he was Director General of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini. Today, Vinayji is MP, Rajya Sabha

The Thane Municipal Commissioner, T Chandrashekar, who launched founder's portal on Thane in his office, has a political party in Andhra Pradesh.
The Joint Commissioner of Police of Thane, V V Lakshminarayana, who used to volunteer for an NGO Hostel in rural Thane and founder used to meet him there, is now a politician in Andhra Pradesh.
The former MP from Thane, Late Prakash Paranjpe used to stay close to founder and founder with his family (he has a son with disability Rohan) stayed at Prakashji's Delhi house.

Founder has many classmates who are at top positions in corporates in India, USA, Germany, Australia ... but the non financial power of elected politicians is far higher than the power of any corporate. So founder is keen that school bright students think of politics. But he knows politics is a field which 99.99% cant handle as leaders.
