NGO Funds India

Central government funding for NGOs in India · page 3

Central government funding for NGOs in India comes through ministry-run schemes — most reimburse a share of eligible project costs against a utilisation certificate rather than paying up front. Every scheme requires an active NGO Darpan registration on NITI Aayog's portal, and most require at least three years of audited accounts. Applications typically go through the NGO Partnership System (NGO-PS) or a ministry-specific portal, and calls open on an annual cycle rather than rolling.
