What you do, with evidence
Programmes, places, numbers, photographs. Specific beats worthy.
Who it is for
NGOs and trusts
A trust’s site has to show the work and make giving simple, while being careful with money and with people’s details.
What you would ask for first
Roughly the order people actually ask, from the first week of using it.
A donation route
On the payment provider’s own page. Your site never sees a card number, which for a trust matters more than most.
Transparency documents
Registration, tax exemption status, annual reports — downloadable, because donors look.
Volunteer sign-up
A short form, not an application.
Stories from the field
The pages that get shared.
What it costs you
You start with 300 free sparks, which is about forty changes — enough to get the whole first version standing and then some. After that a change is usually 3 to 8 sparks, or three to eight rupees, and you are shown the likely cost before it runs.
There is no monthly fee and no charge for having the account. Connecting a domain you already own is free, certificate included.

The bits that need something from you
Before it can be built. Taking donations online needs a merchant account in the trust’s name, and receipts with tax-exemption details need your registration numbers.
What this does not do. Donor management, recurring giving and receipt automation under tax rules are not built as one-sentence features.
Questions from this trade
Can we issue tax-exemption receipts?
Not automatically. We can show the information; issuing compliant receipts is a process worth setting up properly.
Can donors give monthly?
One-off giving works through hosted checkout. Recurring giving needs setting up with your provider.
Describe your ngos and trust in a paragraph
Ask for access and a person reads it. If it is a fit you get an invitation and 300 sparks.
Request access Take the free founder test
Access is by invitation and a person reads every request. The founder test is free, takes a few minutes, and tells you what you are getting before you commit to anything.
