Trust NGO Society
NGO requirements to obtain CSR fund:
Most corporate donors donate only to those NGOs that have certificates such as 80 G registration (provides 50% donor income tax exemption), 12A registration (NGO tax-free income), apart from NGO registration certificate. The NGO 's best interest is to get these registrations done to increase the chances of receiving funds. Global corporations can only contribute funds if they have an FCRA (Financial Donation Protection Act) certificate. Ensure the Organization has all the paperwork in order, and don't neglect to update it every year.
Acts regulating the registration process of NGOs
In most cases, CSR funds need 3 year audited accounts for your entity along with 12A and 80G. While this began as a confidence mechanism, today it's a standard and a necessity.
You may collaborate with other existing NGOs that would be able to fund you launch as a project under their NGO, meaning you don't have to wait 3 years to collect sufficient funds for your research. Tripartite arrangements are also feasible. Let me send you one example:
"Children play" is your NGO / project. And the Organization is "Freedom to Play Project." The "Playstore" business. Now, the MoU could state that "Kids Play" is a project under "Right to Play Foundation" and "Playstore" is supporting their work for 10,000 children. You collect money in the bank account "Right to Play Fund," so they will move it to the bank account as a participant.
Three important things to remember:
The established NGO requires a really good relationship and high mutual trust.
All the MoA will have protected project area. (Modification possible)
I would discourage and strictly avoid any administrative expenses that the NGO may need / want. It should be goodwill operation.
Most CSR teams are mindful of the challenges confronting ngo companies and are generous enough to be comfortable with the above structure. If they're all right, it's up to you to deepen the trust they've placed in you.
The central authority in India requires an NGO to be registered online under three laws: each state's Public Trusts Act.
How to launch your NGO in India
So many people decide to leave their employment and turn to social work! If you're one of them, you should know that setting up a non-profit NGO is a simple and not so difficult task. He may either manage something on his own or seek medical support from a prosecutor, a chartered accountant, or someone who understands the steps involved.
NGOs are organizations that usually work to promote certain causes or a target population's welfare. Because they serve in the non-profit sector, their aims and modus operandi are also somewhat different from for-profit organisations. To achieve their targets, NGOs need a practical strategy right from the conceptualization point. In addition, there are rules and regulations laid down by India's government and provincial governments. Here's a short step-by - step guide to launch your own Indian NGO.
For establish an NGO, you need a strong desire to help in every way.
Step by step
1.
Identify the problems the Organization needs to tackle and the purpose and vision[1].
2.
Before registering the NGO, you must have a promoter 's body in place, which will be the first governing body to register, and thus be responsible for all the NGO's activities and decisions until the new body is established in accordance with the rules, as applicable. The governing body will engage in all strategic issues, including strategic planning , financial management , human resources and networking[2].
3.
Any NGO in India is legally mandated to register a trust deed / Memorandum of Association / Rules & Regulations containing the NGO name and address, purpose and objectives, NGO governance details[3].
4.
In India, you can register an NGO under the following Acts:[4]
As a Public Charitable Trust, some provinces in India can register an NGO. There's no Single Public Charity Trust Statute. It should be remembered that for Private Trusts, which is legitimately regarded as a non-profit company, Indian Trusts Act 1882 is relevant. Societies Register Act 1860: A community of seven or more individuals may establish a society. Its incorporation is easy (though it can take a little longer to complete the certification procedure than that of a trust) and less costly than that of a trust, however it also allows greater consistency in terms of regulations. Companies Act of 2013: an organization created to support art, technology, trade, faith or charity can be licensed as a non-profit corporation with its representatives. Both sales and gains, if any, will be used towards the company's objectives.
5. Raise funds from internal channels (member dues, subscriptions, subscription fees, gifts, etc.) or federal, private or international source grants. Inflow of foreign funds is governed by the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) 2010.[5]
Both the above three categories of organisations are required to file under section 12A of the 1961 Income Tax Act and obtain tax deduction on their income.
6.
Besides fulfilling the above criteria, you need to develop a large technical network with other NGOs, government departments, media and the private sector. As most organisations, an NGO thrives primarily on relationship energy.
