Tech Empowerment
How Can We Bridge the Tech Gap for NGOs?
We are nonprofit professionals dedicated to understanding and addressing the technological challenges faced by NGOs. Through field visits or online consultations, we assess the tech gaps and capabilities of NGOs. Our goal is not merely to implement numerous tools or push NGOs towards technology just because it’s free or discounted. Instead, we aim to enhance NGOs' operations without overwhelming them with unused software.
❝ The Problem ❞
Technology Gap in NGOs
According to the NGO Darpan Data (2023), there are approximately 1.87 lakh registered NGOs in India. However, many of these organizations lack access to tech consulting and awareness.
Rural NGOs Lack Support
NGOs in rural areas, especially those without city offices, often continue using outdated methods for data collection and fundraising. Despite their impactful work, they miss out on networking opportunities and resources to scale their efforts.

NGOs operating for over a decade may receive volunteer support or tech assistance, but often face challenges in maintaining these systems. Without proper guidance, credentials may be lost, and software may become underutilized, hindering their technological progress.
