What is hynGO?
It is a one-click simple and transparent solution to support vetted Indian NGOs over a long period of time. Via this elegant solution, a one-time donation today provides a steady stream of flows to your selected NGOs for 10 years!
How it works? Your donation via hynGO is invested by HelpYourNGO in SEBI approved Mutual Funds and every year, 10% of the hynGO corpus is redeemed and disbursed to your selected NGOs. HelpYourNGO monitors the utilisation of donations and shares 6-monthly program reports and annual hynGO corpus statements for 10 years for complete transparency.
Why hynGO?
hynGO was born out of our desire to create an easy, long-term solution for donors to support vetted NGOs – and for NGOs to have visibility on their annual fund flows and plan their programs / activities better. The objective is to allow NGOs to focus on their work and utilise their limited resources optimally, rather than wasting resources on fundraising (which they may not be good at).
hynGO for Companies: Enables Companies to amplify their CSR efforts by giving an opportunity to their employees, customers, vendors to seamlessly co-donate and co-fund their CSR projects - thereby boosting the impact of CSR projects at no cost!
Key Features for Companies include:
Your One-Click = Their 10 year Journey! Key Features: Why make just a one-time donation when you know your one-time donation via hynGO will benefit the NGO for 10 years?
Globally, university endowments and foundations invest their corpus for long term capital appreciation. Typically, the earnings / capital distributions from these endowments fund nearly 50% of their annual operating budgets.
What if NGOs in India did not have to focus on raising funds but could rely upon a similar pool of capital to support the fantastic work that they do? The idea to create our SaaS product, hynGO was born out of our desire to create a steady stream of fund flows for NGOs. The potential benefit to the identified NGOs could be just like Harvard’s!

Kisan felt he found the Lonelinee Mitigation Center to be a perfect solution to overcome his loneliness.
Shradha stays with her family in a rental house in the slums near King Circle station. Shradha’s father works as a delivery person with a courier company and her mother works as a housemaid to run the family. They work hard to make ends meet.
When Shradha joined the Balwadi, she was scared, shy, reserved and afraid of talking to older people. She refused to participate in any activity conducted by the teachers. However, through the efforts of her teachers to make her comfortable and involve her in acticvities, Shradha gradually started actively participating in all activities. She was a good, punctual, and regular student. She showed progress in her studies and also started winning prizes in various activities conducted.
Gradually she transformed into a confident, well behaved child with leadership qualities who could even handle the whole class as a monitor. Her new-found confidence helped her in securing admission in STD I at Shishuvihar English medium school.
Seema* from Karnataka was dedicated as a Devadasi by her parents at a very young age due to the poor socio-economic conditions of her family. Despite being abolished from the Indian societies, the Devadasi system continues to push young girls into prostitution, wherein their family itself acts as their pimps, selling them to secure some financial aid.
Seema was 20 when she was first brought to Kamathipura. The trials of the exploitative community had left her mentally and physically weak, when AAWC first got in touch with her. AAWC outreach workers constantly focused on helping her rekindle the hope for a better life. She found relief in her everyday interactions with the AAWC Team and was able to find a sense of belonging, trust and solace with the organization. Her initial hesitance and despair started dissolving as seeds of hope took roots in her.
When the lockdown hit and she saw multiple fellow beneficiaries leave the profession with the help of AAWC, she finally expressed her desire to quit the profession. She was promptly counselled by the AAWC workers about the multiple options she could explore. However, Seema was always hesitant to learn or invest in a specific skill training, due to the fatigue from her traumatic past. AAWC outreach workers helped her find an alternative that suited her needs perfectly. She had her own room in the Red-light area and was advised to rent it out, to earn her income. Seema was enthused about the idea and took prompt action to implement the same. Today, she has completely quit the profession and manages her survival with the income earned from the daily rentals.
