MUMBAI: Crowdfunding platform ImpactGuru.com is celebrating its third anniversary with the Impact Month Challenge for NGOs. This campaign will help the nonprofit community by offering their platform and services without applying their fees, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor who has agreed to cover the costs.

Impact Guru has already began enrolling for the challenge and estimates a participation of over 200 NGOs. Among those already registered are Teach For India, CRY, Oxfam, Salaam Balak, Care India, Beti Foundation, Hope Foundation, Global Vision and many others.

As per this first-of-its-kind challenge, all fees (platform fee, transaction fee + taxes) will be waived for all Indian NGOs that raise a minimum of Rs.50,000 in the given period from 20 unique donors on their platform.

However, the benefits for NGOs that take up this challenge go far beyond free fundraising. The crowdfunding platform is offering all its value added services like a dedicated relationship manager for every NGO, free webinar sessions to help guide NGOs about effective crowdfunding, guiding them through a quick due diligence process to start receiving international funds, and free use of its mobile-friendly crowdfunding platform.

Moreover, Impact Guru’s strategic partnership with the non-profit global crowdfunding platform, GlobalGiving, allows NGOs to attract more funds from US/UK donors by offering local tax benefits on their donations.
