Key Problems being addressed
What’s running in a Donor’s/Company’s mind
- CSR Strategy Dilemma: “I have CSR funds to deploy, but where do I start? How do I develop a meaningful strategy that, while helping others, can even enhance my brand?”
- Trust & Impact Concerns: “I want to help, but how do I know if the organization is genuine or really making meaningful impact?”
- Time Constraints: “I want to donate for a good cause, but I don’t have the time to filter through numerous options or verify their authenticity.”
- Budget Validity: “I’ve identified which NGO to support, but do they really need that much money for the proposed program?”
- Transparency Needs: “I’ve donated a large sum, but it’s too tedious coordinating with the NGO to know how my money is being used on a regular basis.”
- Regulatory Burden: “How do I keep up with so many CSR regulatory compliances, changing trends, and paperwork? Can someone take charge and save me from penalties?”
