As we discussed during the workshop, GuideStar India is committed to supporting organizations like yours in their mission to create a positive impact. We believe that GuideStar India’s upgraded certification can be a powerful tool to enhance your organization’s visibility, credibility, and effectiveness.

Next steps to apply for GuideStar India’s upgraded Capacity Building + Certification:

The upgraded Capacity Building+ Certification programme covers the entire spectrum of your organisation from inspiration and inputs to impact, based on an assessment rubric of 7 pillars and 500+ parameters. The process will empower your team through 10+ hours of virtual, interactive training.

Please fill this form to express your interest to participate in joining the programme and the next orientation workshop in the last week of November:

You can kickstart your certification journey by participating in subsequent capacity-building workshops and completing additional forms. This will be a journey of learning and reflection with your internal teams, management and governing body members! GuideStar India certified NGOs showed remarkable resilience in the pandemic. In past 5 years, 88% of GuideStar Certified NGOs registered growth vis-à-vis only 57% on non-GuideStar India certified NGOs.

Please note that your organisation should have its audited financials for FY 2022-23 ready before you embark on this upgrade. You can choose to start now, even if your certification is currently valid because most donors require due diligence based on FY 2022-23.

If you wish to have the presentation made at the workshop, reply to this email.

Best wishes for a very happy Deepavali!
