Read MoreSGP is Plug-and-Launch SaaS Solution for mutual funds and their investors.
It is a tailor-made hynGO solution which enables mutual fund investors, on the basis of their consent, to contribute 10% of their investment every year to NGOs vetted and monitored by HelpYourNGO.
The idea to create SGP was born out of our desire to create a steady stream of fund flows for genuine and trustworthy NGOs. NGOs in India do not have the skill set for raising money – but mutual fund houses do! What if their money-raising abilities could help NGOs to rely upon a pool of capital to support the fantastic work that they do?
In an era where companies are meant to do more than just focus on profit, our ask of the owners of the mutual fund houses is very small: Add this simple but powerful SGP unit and help India achieve the 17 UN SDGs.
HelpYourNGO is the brainchild of Ajit Dayal - a renowned fund manager in India and abroad, whose credits include the US$2 billion Vanguard International Value Fund. A strong believer in the ease and simplicity of long-term investments, Ajit is also the founder of Quantum Asset Management Company and PersonalFN. Ajit is also a prolific writer on investing in Indian and global markets as well as Indian Real Estate. He is the editor of The Honest Truth. Ajit believes ‘The Honest Truth will help us lead better, more honest lives - and still allow us the opportunity to enjoy some wealth for our material comforts.’ It's no wonder Forbes India called him "The Mutual Fund Maverick". For 28 years, Ajit has been going against the crowd to build a company that puts investors over profits. Ajit believes that for India to be a stable society, the less fortunate of our country must be provided with opportunities to flourish.

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 is true for Harvard is true for the hundreds of other university endowments or private endowments like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. It is this steady stream of financial support that allows Harvard to focus on being a world-class university!
What if NGOs did not have to focus on raising funds but could rely upon a similar pool of capital to support their incredible work?
The idea to create SGP was born out of our desire to create a steady stream of flows for genuine & trustworthy NGOs. SGP will allow NGOs to focus on implementing the great work that they do, rather than wasting their resources on fund raising – which they may not be good at.
Our interaction with NGOs has made us realize the challenges the smaller, un-branded NGOs face in fund raising. Larger, established NGOs hire teams (and pay external marketing agents an exorbitant 30-35% to collect donations!) while the smaller NGOs struggle. The potential benefit to the identified NGOs could be just like Harvard's!
