Verification & trust

Trust here is something you can check, not something we assert.

An organisation clears six steps before donors ever see it, carries a score that moves with its own conduct, and gets looked at again every year.

Getting listed

Six steps, in order, no exceptions.

Nothing is visible to a donor and no money can be received until all six are approved. The sixth cannot be approved until the other five are.

  1. 01

    Basic information

    Legal name, full address, contact details and the registration number the organisation is registered under.

  2. 02

    Legal documents

    Trust registration certificate, PAN, 12A and 80G certificates, bank proof or a cancelled cheque, and GST registration where it applies. Bank details also register the organisation with the payment gateway at this point, so donations can settle directly to it later.

  3. 03

    Shelter or community details

    For a Panjrapol: how many cattle, breed spread, how many are sick or disabled, staff numbers, whether there is a veterinary facility, land area and capacity. For a sangh: the area it serves, member households and the activities it runs.

  4. 04

    Geo verification

    GPS coordinates, photographs and short video from the site, and a confirmed pin on the map. This is what makes the next step possible.

  5. 05

    Physical verification

    One of our own volunteers travels to the shelter and files an inspection report with photographs and location data attached. We do not outsource this.

  6. 06

    Admin approval

    The full application and every verifier's findings are reviewed together. Only then does the organisation get its verified badge and become visible to donors.

Step five. A volunteer on site, recording what is actually there.

The trust score

A number that only goes up when proof arrives.

Every verified organisation carries a visible score out of 100. It is built from three things, and it is deliberately hard to raise by doing nothing.

Document completeness

Whether the legal paperwork is complete, current and not expiring.

Utilization completion

Whether funded needs actually get closed out with a bill, photographs and a report. Only verified closures count, so donations alone never raise a score.

Inspection findings

What our volunteers reported when they stood in the shelter.

The weighting between the three is still being settled with the founding team. When it changes, every score is recomputed and the full breakdown is recorded.

Staying listed

Verification is not a one-time gate.

Being approved once is not the end of it. Four separate things can bring a shelter's next inspection forward, and the earliest one wins.

Every twelve months
Counted from the last completed verification, whichever one that was.
A trust score that falls too low
Below the threshold, the shelter becomes due for re-verification immediately.
A donor raises a dispute
Any open dispute pulls the next visit forward to the date it was raised.
A document nearing expiry
The clock moves up ahead of the expiry date rather than after it.

If something looks wrong, say so

Any donor can raise a dispute against an organisation from inside the app. It goes to our admin team and it pulls that shelter’s next physical inspection forward.

You can rate them too

Donors leave ratings and feedback on the organisations they have supported. Those ratings are moderated, and they sit on the shelter’s public profile.

The app is where all of this happens.

Browse verified shelters and sanghs, fund a specific need, and follow it through to the bill. Available in English, Hindi and Gujarati.
