Frequently asked

How many animals NGOs does Daan list?
86 verified organisations working on animals across 14 Indian cities. The list grows as we verify more.
Which animals NGO should I donate to?
We deliberately do not rank them — the right choice depends on whether you care about scale, a specific city, or a particular approach. Read a few profiles, follow the link to each organisation's own site, and look at their annual report before deciding.
How do you decide which NGOs get listed?
We list organisations we can independently confirm exist and are operating, using their official website and published material. NGOs do not pay to be listed, and nobody can buy a higher position.
Can I volunteer with animals organisations instead of donating?
Yes — open any profile and use the Volunteer tab. If the organisation has not joined Daan yet you can still register interest, and we will notify you when they post opportunities.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Many Indian NGOs hold 80G certification, which allows a deduction, but it differs per organisation and can expire. Ask the NGO for their current 80G certificate before assuming a donation qualifies.

Other causes
