What NGOs say about GuideStar India
“Opportunity knocks at your door only
once but GuideStar India knocks at
your door again and again until you
grab the opportunity! ” Fatima
Lawrence, President, Lakkasandra
Ashwini Mahila Sangha
“Soon after being a part of GuideStar India, we got an opportunity to attend
an IT Workshop conducted by NASSCOM Foundation. Through this
workshop we could familiarize with various online tools to promote our cause.
Our presence on the Guidestar India website and a social networking
site, in fact has helped us to get associated with an industry donor,
who was looking for a small NGO. It is a phenomenal long term value
addition from Guidestar India to a small NGO like ours within a few months of
association." Dr Usha Pillai, Chairperson, IDEA Foundation
![Page 20: GuideStar India on How PSEs can Partner with NGOs for CSR](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081403/554c68cfb4c905f76f8b4b38/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What Donors say about GuideStar India
“The credibility of organisations is key to
how we select our partner charities. As part
of our detailed due diligence procedure, we
use the resources provided by
GuideStar India to ensure that donations
make the maximum impact and funds are
distributed responsibly and effectively.”
Abha Thorat-Shah, Director, The British
Asian Trust
Our member Table in Ahmedabad wanted to build a school in the Rural part of North Gujarat. They
contacted various people and local references to qualify and identify a suitable project. After
several months of futile exercise, we approached GuideStar India. They updated their Blog and
also sent email communication to various shortlisted NGOs on their database. The response from
NGOs was overwhelming. We then started shortlisting and qualifying the various requirements
quoted by various schools. We finally selected Adwait Vidhyamandir, Jaasra (North Gujarat). The
role of GuideStar has been most critical in getting us together. People are surprised to see
our association with Adwait Vidyamandir and also Village Jaasra since we had no
association prior. It is generally seen that people try to carry out service projects only in native
village or village with direct reference. In our case we trusted the due diligence of Guidestar in
enrolling the NGOs.
