NGOs · Non-profit

Let a CSR manager find your programme, district and 80G status in one visit.

An NGO gets found by CSR teams, donors and volunteers when each programme has its own page, with registration status and reports in plain view.

Realistic editorial illustration of ngos at work in India

In one paragraph

NGO marketing makes a programme visible to the CSR teams, donors and volunteers who could fund or staff it. NGO sales is the follow-up that turns a CSR conversation into a signed commitment and a renewal. GullySales builds programme pages that show registration status plainly, and a CRM record for every donor and CSR partner.

A CSR team searches for a partner in a specific cause and district, a donor sees a social post about a programme, and a volunteer searches for opportunities near home. Each buyer needs different proof. The CSR team wants utilisation reports and a current 80G certificate, the donor wants photographs and a clear rupee ask, and the volunteer wants a way to show up.

A cause page describing the mission in general terms does not convert any of the three. What works is a page for each programme and an annual report that is easy to find. It also takes a WhatsApp number a CSR manager can reach during working hours, not a contact form that sits unanswered for days.

How buyers decide

How NGOs are chosen.

A CSR manager shortlisting partners searches for the cause plus the district, and reads the NGO's own site for registration numbers. They also check whether the last annual report is over two years old. An NGO without a current 80G and FCRA status listed is dropped before a call happens.

Individual donors decide faster, sometimes from a single social post or a friend's share. They complete the donation only if the payment page works on a phone and a receipt arrives by email within minutes. A broken donation link on a festival appeal costs more than a slow website ever would.

Volunteers commit after seeing a specific task and time, not a general appeal to help. A shift at a named shelter on a named Saturday gets sign-ups where a general call to volunteer does not.

The problem

What usually goes wrong for NGOs.

Common situations to check against your own enquiry records.

  • “The cause page reads the same as every other appeal”

    A general appeal for support with no numbered project or rupee figure gives a CSR manager or a donor nothing to compare against the next NGO on their list.

  • “The CSR enquiry sits in a personal inbox”

    A programme officer's phone is the only record of who asked, what they wanted funded and when they were last followed up. Partnerships are lost between one financial year and the next.

  • “Impact reporting is not tied to the ask”

    Photos and updates go out on social media but never in the format a CSR team's own compliance process needs, so the renewal conversation starts from zero each year.

  • “We do not know which programme page brought in the CSR enquiry”

    A CSR manager mentions finding us through a specific programme, but we have no record linking that page to the eventual meeting or grant.

  • “Our 80G and FCRA numbers are buried in a PDF”

    A CSR compliance team looking for the current registration status has to ask for it directly, and some drop us from the shortlist rather than asking.

  • “Festival appeals go out with no working donation link tested first”

    A payment link that fails on a phone during a festival appeal loses donors who will not try a second time that day.

  • “Volunteer sign-ups get no follow-up after the form”

    Someone fills a volunteer interest form and hears nothing for weeks, so they assume the opportunity has passed and stop checking.

What we do

What we do for NGOs.

Possible deliverables for NGOs. Your written scope confirms what is included.

  1. Programme pages with the ask and registration status

    A page for each programme stating the cause, district, rupee ask and current 80G and FCRA numbers, replacing one general appeal page.

  2. Annual report and impact updates placed where they are found

    The current annual report and programme updates placed on the website in the format a CSR compliance process expects, not only shared on social media.

  3. CSR and donor enquiry record in a CRM

    Every corporate enquiry, past partnership and renewal date recorded in one place, so a programme officer's transfer does not lose the relationship.

  4. Reply routine for CSR and donation enquiries

    A same-day reply standard for CSR emails and donation page questions, reaching the person who owns the relationship.

  5. Tested donation page for phone and desktop

    The donation payment flow checked on a phone before a festival appeal goes out, with an automatic receipt sent by email.

  6. Search and social content built around programme and district

    Content written around the specific programme and district a CSR team searches for, rather than one general cause description.

  7. Volunteer sign-up follow-up sequence

    A follow-up message sent within days of a volunteer interest form, confirming a specific shift and location.

  8. Report on enquiries and commitments

    A report of donor and CSR enquiries, how many became a commitment, and which renewal conversations are due, against the agreed baseline.

How the result is measured

  • CSR and donor enquiries by programme
  • Reply time on the donation and partnership enquiry
  • Enquiries that became a signed commitment
  • Renewal conversations completed before the financial year ends
  • Volunteer sign-ups by shift
  • Repeat donors year on year

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

Every service, written for NGOs

Each has its own page: what it involves for NGOs, what you get, and what it is measured on.

Worth a page and a campaign of their own

Education and literacy programmes · Healthcare camps and clinics · Livelihood and skill-training programmes · Disaster relief and rehabilitation · Women's livelihood and enterprise programmes · Elder care and destitute homes · Animal rescue and welfare · Environmental conservation projects · Annual CSR partnership renewals · Festival and year-end donation appeals

Priority campaigns

Campaigns for what NGOs most want to sell.

Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.

  • Annual CSR partnership renewal campaign

    We prepare the renewal packet, impact update and reminder sequence for CSR partners, timed to reach them well before the financial year ends.

  • Festival and year-end donation appeal

    We prepare the appeal content, a tested donation page and a follow-up thank-you message, timed to the festival and year-end giving season.

  • Education and literacy programme campaign

    We build a programme page and outreach content naming the schools or district served, aimed at donors and CSR teams with an education focus.

  • Healthcare camp campaign

    We prepare a page and social content for an upcoming healthcare camp, stating the location, dates and the support needed, aimed at local donors and volunteers.

  • Women's livelihood programme campaign

    We build a programme page and a CSR-facing outreach pack for a women's livelihood or enterprise programme, aimed at CSR teams with a livelihood mandate.

Beyond search

Where we reach buyers of NGOs, beyond Google.

Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.

  • Resident welfare associations and community groups

    We prepare a donation or volunteering ask a resident can share within their own society's WhatsApp group, tied to a specific programme.

  • CSR partner discovery platforms

    We keep the NGO's profile current on CSR discovery platforms where a corporate team searches for a partner by cause and district.

  • Employee volunteering programmes at corporate offices

    We prepare a volunteering brief a company's CSR team can circulate internally, naming a specific task, date and location.

  • Colleges and student volunteer groups

    We prepare outreach material aimed at a college's community service cell, naming a specific shift a student can commit to.

  • Past CSR partners' own networks

    CSR heads talk to each other at industry forums and on LinkedIn. We draft a short note a satisfied partner can forward, with the utilisation report attached.

A practical starting point · NGOs

Start with one buying journey.

Use a real enquiry to find the first useful change. You do not need to buy every service listed on this page.

The record to review
Choose the journey that matters: a donor enquiry, volunteer application, partnership, or request for support. Record each separately so the report does not combine unlike outcomes.
The buyer's question
Check whether the page explains the programme and the next action clearly. Use only programme evidence and participant material that the organisation is authorised to publish.
The handover to agree
Assign each kind of enquiry to its responsible team. A donation question and a request for help need different responses and different handling of personal information.

Who it is for

This is written for these NGOs.

  • Grassroots community NGOs
  • CSR implementation partners
  • Educational and literacy NGOs
  • Healthcare and disability NGOs
  • Environmental and animal welfare NGOs
  • Disaster relief and rehabilitation NGOs
  • Women's self-help group and livelihood NGOs
  • Old-age and destitute care homes
  • Skill-training and livelihood NGOs

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • You want a guaranteed Google ranking or a guaranteed number of leads. Nobody honest can promise either.
  • You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
  • You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.

How it works

How the work runs for NGOs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Audit the donor and CSR journey

    We check how a CSR manager or an individual donor finds you today, whether the 80G and FCRA status is visible, and how fast a donation-page enquiry gets a reply.

  2. 2

    Fix the programme pages

    A page for each programme, with the cause, the district, the rupee ask and the current annual report, replacing one general appeal page that serves nobody.

  3. 3

    Put CSR conversations in a CRM

    Every corporate enquiry, past partnership and renewal date recorded in one place, so a programme officer's transfer or leave does not lose the relationship.

  4. 4

    Build visibility for the cause

    Search and social content built around the specific programme and district, so the NGO is found by the CSR team searching for that exact combination.

  5. 5

    Report on enquiries and commitments

    A report of donor and CSR enquiries, how many turned into a commitment, and where in the year renewal conversations are due.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

GullySales builds every engagement from three pieces of sales work. This page is not one of them, but the same three steps apply to the business behind it.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions NGOs ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
How is this different from a fundraising consultant?
A fundraising consultant builds one campaign. We build the pages, the CRM record and the reply routine so every CSR enquiry and donor question is tracked after the campaign ends, not just during it.
Do you work with our CSR partners directly?
We build the material and the process; the relationship and the ask stay with your team. Where useful, we join a review call to walk through the reporting.
Should our website show our CSR-1 registration?
Yes. A company can only spend its CSR money through an implementing agency registered with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on Form CSR-1. Showing that number beside your 12A and 80G details answers the first compliance question before anyone emails you.
Will marketing make it look like we are spending donor money on promotion instead of the cause?
We focus on making existing programmes, replies and registration details easier to find, not on paid image campaigns. Most of the work is fixing pages and records that cost nothing beyond the time to build them.
Can you help us track CSR partnerships across financial years?
Yes, we set up one record for every CSR relationship and renewal date, so a partnership survives even if the programme officer managing it changes.
Do you handle the donation payment gateway for us?
We do not run the payment gateway itself, but we test the donation flow on a phone and desktop before an appeal goes out, and fix what is broken.
How do you handle a cause that is hard to explain quickly, like environmental conservation or elder care?
We name one outcome and one place. For example, 'forty elders in a Mandya care home fed and checked by a nurse daily' reads in one go; a mission statement about dignity in old age does not. The figures come from your own records.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes to reply time, follow-up and your Google Business Profile are the quickest to show, because the enquiries already exist. Ads can follow soon after follow-up is in place. SEO and content take longer. How long each takes depends on your business, and we tell you which applies to you after we have spoken. Nothing here is guaranteed.
