Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Find answers about donations, NGO verification, volunteering, and tracking your impact.
What is The Giving Circle?
The Giving Circle is an Indian fundraising platform for people who want to make a difference. You choose a cause you care about, start a fundraiser for the verified NGO working on it, and raise funds by sharing it with your personal and professional network. We call these volunteer fundraisers Cause Champions.
How do I start a fundraiser for an NGO in India?
Choose a cause from the causes we work on, tell us the amount you would like to raise, and we set up your fundraising page and communication materials. You share them with your network on WhatsApp, Instagram or anywhere else you spend time, and donations go straight to the verified NGO working on that cause. Someone from our team stays with you through it. There is nothing to download and nothing to pay.
What is a Cause Champion?
A Cause Champion is a volunteer fundraiser. You pick a cause, pledge an amount you would like to raise, and share your fundraising page with the people who know you. The donations directly go to the verified NGO behind the cause. Cause Champions never handle or receive donation funds themselves.
Does it cost anything to start a fundraiser?
No. Starting a fundraiser costs you nothing. There is no joining fee, no charge for your page or your poster, and no minimum you have to raise. Being a Cause Champion is a volunteer role, so you are not paid on what you raise. You give your voice to the cause; the money goes to the NGO.
Where does my donation go?
Straight to the NGO. Donations go directly to the partner NGO through the NGO's own payment gateway and into the NGO's own bank account. The Giving Circle does not receive, hold, or process donation funds at any stage.
Will I get an 80G tax exemption receipt for my donation?
Yes. We only work with NGOs that hold a valid 80G certificate, and the receipt is issued directly by the NGO rather than by The Giving Circle, because your donation is made through the NGO's own payment gateway. It reaches you on the email address you give when you donate, so do check it is correct.
80G is claimed against the financial year in which you give, not the year you file. A gift made on 30 March belongs to the financial year that is ending; one made on 2 April belongs to the next.
One thing worth knowing: 80G is a deduction under the old tax regime. If you file under the new regime you will not be able to claim it, though your donation reaches the cause exactly the same way. Your tax adviser is the right person to confirm what applies to you.
