Helping hands at work

HomeAbout

Ten years of standing beside India's non-profits.

We started as two compliance professionals helping a friend's trust file its 12A. Today we're a full assistance platform for 250+ organisations across 22 states.

Our story

Built by people who got tired of watching good work stall on paperwork.

In 2015 a rural education trust we admired lost a ₹40-lakh grant because its 12A renewal was three weeks late. Nobody had told them the rule had changed. That single afternoon is why NGO School exists.

We decided that compliance knowledge should not be a privilege of well-funded metros. So we built a team that goes to the organisation instead of waiting for it, explains the 'why' before the 'what', and stays through the full year rather than disappearing after a filing.

Ten years on, the model hasn't changed. One accountable team, transparent pricing, and a refusal to let a good project die of a missed deadline.

Our mission

To remove every administrative obstacle between a committed non-profit and the community it serves — registration, compliance, funding and reporting.

Our vision

An India where a village-level collective can access the same compliance and funding expertise as a national foundation, at a price it can actually pay.

Our values

Say the difficult thing early. Publish the numbers. Never bill for work we did not do. Treat every organisation's mission as seriously as its founder does.
