HelpYourNGO Foundation (HYNGO) is a not-for-profit organization set up with the objective of increasing transparency in the social sector. India has more than 3 million registered non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and it is reported that less than 10% of these file annual returns with the government authorities. HYNGO is the only organisation in India that standardises and displays detailed financial and program information on 650+ NGOs spread across 480+ zip-codes in India. Our aim is to connect donors to genuine, trustworthy NGOs through information on our website and offline donor advisory services. Our listed NGOs work in 13 sectors ranging from Health and Education to Governance and Animal Welfare.
Our website www.HelpYourNGO.com. features social sector information, interviews and videos on NGOs, and the state of philanthropy in India. The HelpYourNGO Knowledge Centre is designed to serve the learning and resource requirements of NGO professionals. Our workshops, events, online resources and knowledge partnerships provide sector-specific advice to non-profit professionals and help them navigate the problems in their day-to-day functioning.
Since inception, we have raised over Rs2 million for NGOs through our platform and advisory services. We have helped corporates with their CSR commitment and individuals, Foundations, and other institutions plan their philanthropic journey by identifying and recommending NGOs which match their unique requirements. We have been quoted in interviews by Livemint, Economic Times, Hindu Business Line and other leading publications.
When HelpYourNGO Foundation (HYNGO) is the NGO chosen by the investor under the SMILE facility, the investor further has the option to select any of the below mentioned Sectors (max 2) of his/her choice. Based on the investor’s sector preference, HYNGO will identify suitable high-impact NGOs in India for making the SMILE contribution.
The donations will be made only to the HYNGO Recommended NGOs. Based on due diligence procedures and NGO visits conducted by the HYNGO Team, select NGOs are moved to the ‘Recommended’ category to highlight that they meet the highest standard of credibility and due diligence norms. Donors may use the HYNGO portal to view information (standardized financials, % spend on beneficiaries, programs, tax benefit, location, NGO contact, etc.) of all the HYNGO Recommended NGOs.
HYNGO reserves the right to select the NGOs to which the SMILE contributions are to be made, meeting the investor’s sector criteria.
Based on the investor’s Sector preference, HYNGO will identify high-impact NGOs to donate the contribution received via the SMILE facility. For this, mentioned below are some parameters* that will be considered by HYNGO for shortlisting NGOs:
The HYNGO Team interacts with NGOs in person, at their field offices and remotely to identify high-impact programs. We make an effort to identify small and medium-sized NGOs which meet our due diligence norms and run efficient programs but have lesser visibility than the popular NGOs.

The aim is to help underprivileged youth develop IT skills, improve interpersonal skills and gain professional development exposure, thereby impacting their ability to jumpstart careers in various sectors and find desired job opportunities.
The primary objective is of making them ‘digitally literate’ – enhancing their ability to use digital tools & devices in their day-to-day lives. As part of the ABC Program, the NGO runs job-oriented Community Information and Training Centres for conducting trainings. Apart from application software trainings, the youth are also introduced to various online platforms like banking, shopping, paying utility bills, etc. They are encouraged to use IT as one of the sources to enhance their knowledge base. The emphasis is on exposing them to basics of IT and instilling the confidence in them to implement what they have learnt. The program aims to channelize their energies for positive and productive purposes through basic IT and soft skills training, thereby making them more efficient and employable. Laptops are provided to the students for self-study and group study.
