Ethos Advisors & NGO Post created a short survey to assess the needs of the NGO community and identify concrete solutions to improve motivated, high-impact NGOs across India.
Some of the key points from the summary of the surveys are:
- 63% of the NGOs surveyed work in the education sector and 47% work in the health and disabilities sector.
- 77% of the NGOs surveyed have less than 20 employees.
- 35% of the NGOs are registered as trusts, 48% as societies and 11% as Section 25 companies.
- 36% of the NGOs find volunteers by word of mouth and 48% of the NGOs are satisfied with the volunteer skills they receive.
The early bird prize winner of the survey was – Kilikili – an organisation devoted to making public spaces accessible to special children. One of the earliest organizations to fill the complete survey, they won a media package – a promotional video film!
The winner for the Rs. 5000 Cash Prize is – Samaritan Help Mission. Visit their blog at

Our new feature of having moderators for each category of stories is planned so that each category on NGOPost has its own focused development and its moderators can follow the stories more closely to develop a close knit community around that category. This community can be intertwined with other communities on NGOPost and can lead to an organic growth and sharing of resources and knowledge on NGOPost, one of the primary goals of this platform. Our three new moderators for three categories on NGO Post are:

The NGOpost team deeply mourns the sad happenings in bombay over the last week and condolences to all the victims. We pay our tribute to the heroes who lost their lives fighting the terrorists and wish the best for all the injured victims for recovery.
The NGOpost blog has been in hibernation for sometime while our team has been working on better and more useful features for NGOpost. We have new developments on NGOpost since the last month. Firstly, we have a list of all available RSS feeds on NGOpost at a new page:
We also have two focus of the month issues on NGOpost since September. The focus of the month for October was Education. The focus of the month for November was Food and Water. There are been many good stories and discussions in each of these categories with very good suggestions for NGOs to improve their skill sets and also reports of great NGO work in the corresponding areas.
There are going to be many more new features on NGOpost in the recent future to enable and facilitate more interaction amongst our enthusiastic users. As we await these new features eagerly, wish all our readers and users and everyone a safe and peaceful world.
