5 ways to find an NGO near me!

LIVING in a town or city is more than having a home in a neighborhood, attending a school there or spending time at popular places. Being a Mumbaikar or Chennaiite, for instance, means enjoying what the city has to offer and what makes it unique. This includes appreciating what the city is, building a good life and looking for ways to make our cities a better place in our own small ways. Experiencing all that a city has to offer includes making friends with others, learning about the city and also giving back. One of the many questions people have after having lived in a city for a while is – how can I find an NGO near me? 

Cities across India have grassroots NGOs that are familiar with the area’s communities, needs and challenges and are well-equipped with the tools and resources to meet these needs. It is worthwhile, therefore, to do our best to support the effort to improve life for our most disadvantaged citizens living alongside us. We can do this by lending our support to well-established organizations that have worked for decades to help and empower people living in our cities. But with hundreds and sometimes thousands of NGOs in a city, how can we find an NGO that is close to us and aligned with our areas of interest?

Here are 5 ways to find an NGO near me!

1. Search on Give.do

On Give.do, we can filter NGOs according to location such as Kolkata or Delhi and causes such as human rights or disaster relief. Browse through the list that appears and read about the NGO, its history and the impact it has made. To donate is a simple and transparent process and keeps you up-to-date on the NGO’s progress.  

2. Talk to a friend

“How can I find an NGO near me to support” is a question you can ask a friend, family member or colleague. Based on personal recommendations, you can make a note of NGOs and find out more about them by visiting the organization in person or reading more about them on Give.do before you start supporting them.

3. Follow the right accounts on social media

Following fundraising platforms like Give.do on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn or X can help us hear the stories of NGOs as told by their founders, beneficiaries, volunteers and donors who have supported the organizations. Social media is also a convenient way to receive regular updates about NGOs on apps we regularly use.

4. Explore CSR initiatives

We employees can take advantage of our organization’s CSR partnerships. With CSR becoming more and more important for companies – even a requirement – workplace giving tie-ups between companies and fundraising platforms like Give.do can help employees take advantage of vetted and streamlined giving.

5. Tap into educational or religious networks

Many schools, colleges and religious institutions can recommend NGOs that each of them can vouch for based on their association with them. Based on these personal contacts, we can find out more about the NGO online, visit them in person and do our part to give them the support they need to help others around us.
