Frequently asked
- How many sports NGOs does Daan list?
- 50 verified organisations working on sports across 14 Indian cities. The list grows as we verify more.
- Which sports 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 sports 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.
