About iCONGO iCONGO is the acronym for the “Indian Confederation of NGOs”. However we
are not a NGO, charity or just a coalition of NGOs and over the years have become a Movement to sensitize & create awareness amongst people about
socio-political issues, build Individual Responsibility and encourage Citizen Action for Social Justice thru the People Sector (NGOs). We believe that by
bringing together People and the People sector, for creating involvement and inspiration to ignite action against apathy, will lead to long and lasting change,
as reflected in our our passion mantra given here.
“Together as ONE we can RIGHT every WRONG” VERY IMPORTANT: To gain maximum advantage it is important for 1-2 people from the senior management of the member NGO to work closely and interact regularly with iCONGO management and our founders.

Some feedback from senior development professionals/ fundraisers we have trained.
It was so refreshing to have such an out of the box presentation after having attended somany mundane and systematic workshops. I really mean it I had attended so many of them!1. It was very innovative, 2. It made us think differently, 3. I liked the concept of “getting to feel for the cause, actually getting attached to the cause and not merely funding! Just like that without knowing the work”. This helps in gaining partners for future not necessarily MONEY! Anjali Chaudhry, Advocacy Coordinator This is brilliant. Just the stuff one needs. Meena Vaidyanathan, Head, External Communications, HCL Technologies Ltd.It was a good experience. A new understand of the concept of fundraising from the other side. Rishi Gupta, Plan India
