Children of India is proud to announce that we have qualified for “Foundation Level- Guide Star India Bronze Certification”!
Launched on September 23rd, 2010, Guide Star India is an initiative of Civil Society Information Services India. Guide Star India illuminates the work of 12,250+ not-for-profit organizations in India, improves their trust and transparency through its capacity building workshops and distinguished certification programmes. Its online information repository, with granular information of individual NPOs and sectoral insights through data aggregation and research, serves as the scaffolding for social sector growth and resilience. It guides government, businesses and citizens to Explore, Discover, Engage and Support NPOs, for addressing causes they care about towards creating greater social impact. It shares its information, insights and trusted partnerships to elevate the sector for initiatives such as the Social Stock Exchange, India’s Million Missions- NPO Sector Study, charity administration reforms in Maharashtra and Daan Utsav, India’s annual festival of giving.
We have thus been awarded the prestigious Guide Star India Foundation Level- Bronze certification and have joined India’s largest pool of credible NPOs after undergoing a due diligence process.
Guide Star India’s Bronze Certification is the Foundation Level certification indicating that a high level of accountability and good governance procedures are adopted by the organization. With this accomplishment and recognition, we aim to inspire our existing supporters to champion our mission among their networks, and also enhance the prospects of discovery, engagement and support from new charitable hearts and donors. We are eternally grateful to all our stakeholders, well-wishers and the entire Children of India team for their generous efforts to voluntarily embrace the highest standards of public disclosure, which is a paramount contribution toward enhancing the credibility of India’s NPO sector!
