How to join the NGO make a career in it or get the fund?
The Full form of NGO is a nongovernmental organization. Many
people have the zeal to work for society. They would like to make an impact on
society. Whenever they make up the mind to work for society then the first
question comes to their mind like how? Where? When? So in this article, I will
explain how a person can join the NGO, make a career in it or if starts own NGO
then how can he/she gets the fund.
From where we can start?
So at first people need to find a purpose or the area in which
they would like to do the social service and would like to make a career. There
are many NGOs that are working for many purposes. There are new NGOs also
coming into force to service society for different purposes. So first you
shortlist the area of interest and then search the NGOs which are working in
this area. For example below are the purposes of NGOs. There are many other
purposes for which NGOs are working.
Purpose of NGOs
To help the people
Adopt Poor orphan child
Provide free books
To make a school/hospital
Provided free food, medicine home to the needy one.
Any kind of work related to social welfare can be termed as the
work of NGO
How to join NGO
There are two ways
to join the NGO. The first one is to join as a member of the existing NGO and
The second one is to start your own NGO.
If you would like to join NGO then obviously you would have the
purpose of social service or you would have done the course of BSW/MSW. For
internship or as a permanent employee you may join t the NGOs.
For this, you may search NGO and apply online to their website
or you may personally visit and join. You have two options. You can join the
NGO as a member or join there as an intern. On NGOs website, you will find the
option like becoming member/Get involved/Internship. NGOs may ask for your
credentials like KYC document, Qualifications, phone number email id. Once you
are through in the interview then you may join there and pursue your passion.
How to start own NGO
You may feel that
instead of joining the NGO let us start our own NGO. It is not a bad idea. Here
you can implement your idea, imagination, passion in your way. If you would
like to do social service and don’t intend to take the grant from the
government then there is no need for registration. If you intend to take the
grant form govt then you should go for the registration.
You can get register your NGO under the society act 1860 or
trust act 1882. For registration under the society act, you need a minimum of 7
members as a group for a particular purpose whereas for registration under the
trust act you need a minimum of 2 trustees. In society, blood relation is not
allowed. whereas in trust blood relation is allowed. you can make him a member.
If you would like to register the society on a national level then 7 members
should be from different states and one member from the place where you are
registering the society where as in trust registration this limitation is not
there.

How to get the fund for NGO
There are many ways through which an NGO can collect the fund. I am explaining few examples below:
1. Grant from the government: For getting the grant from the Government NGO will have to register on Niti aayog Portal NGO Darpan website . Please get your NGO impaneled and get the unique id from there. Please note as per the government circular this is mandatory for getting any kind of grant from The Government.
If you would like to apply for a government grant then first you will have to sign in on NGO Darpan website and then will have to go to apply for the grant link and you will have to proceed further. Here you will find the different link of different ministries and departments. Every department has its own criteria and requirements for giving the grant. You need to fulfill their requirement and then submit the proposal to them.
2. CSR Fund: CSR means corporate social responsibility fund this act is in force since April 2014.In this act company that has an annual net worth of 500cr or annual income is of 1000 cr or annually profit is 5cr then they have to spend on CSR. This spend should be the 2% of average profit of last 3 years.
An NGO can get this fund without registering for 12A and 80G. Education, empowerment, health, skill development, training, sports are the field where companies disbursing CSR funds. There are other fields as well where funds are being disbursed. I have just shared few examples.
For getting the fund under the CSR project title of the proposal should be attractive. You should clearly define your goal, target and budget. Description of the problem and its possible solution. How will be the fund used that needs to be described in detail.
4. Public fund: Once the public come to know your social work then they get impressed and then they donate to your NGO. For getting the fund from the public you need to keep advertising your work on a different platform so that the general public should know what you are doing. Also, share your ac detail on the website so that the interested public can donate.
5. Foreign agency fund: Once you get the FCRA certificate then you can get the fund from the foreign agency as well. The Only catch is an NGO can get the FCRA certificate only after 3 years of existence.
6. Fund from the sponsorship and sale of goods: You can get organized a program and can collect the fund through sponsorship and selling your goods which your NGO has made. This way also you can generate a lot of funds.
7. Fund form loyalty program: You can mobilize the fund by running the loyalty program. This program can run on a periodical basis.
8.Membership: An NGO can collect membership fees from its members. through which they can generate a good amount of revenue. Membership fees can be many types. Life-time membership, yearly, permanent, Patron. You can classify the types of membership like this.
