Civil Society Information Services India

GuideStar India is an initiative of Civil Society Information Services India (CSIS India) in collaboration with GuideStar International, UK. CSIS India is a trust registered in India. CSIS India's vision is Indian philanthropy and non-profit practice revolutionised by the use of civil society information. Our mission is to encourage and equip Indian NGOs to voluntarily share, in the public domain, information that advances transparency, enables better decision making and encourages charitable giving. GuideStar India provides information of over 1000 NGOs in India in an easy to search fashion to help users connect quickly with organisation(s) working in the area of their choice (location/ cause/ type of activity). All information is self-reported by NGOs, however, organisations upload supporting documents such as their tax returns, registration documents and audited accounts. Organisations have undergone different levels of due diligence before being featured on GuideStar India.
