Fund programmes you can defend. Show impact you can prove.

For Section 135 teams that need one place to design programmes, review NGO partners, release money against milestones, and keep Board-ready evidence of what changed.

The problem

CSR runs on spreadsheets. Credibility does not.

Three gaps show up when a Committee, Board, or assessor asks what the money achieved.

Scattered records
Programme files sit across email, Word docs, and shared drives.

Audit becomes archaeology.

Partners picked on trust
Diligence happens once, in someone’s inbox, and is never reopened.

Decisions you can’t defend later.

Impact proven too late
Outcome data arrives months after the money moved — and rarely matches.

A Board narrative with no spine.

Design the programme. Control the money. Keep impact evidence current.

Design

Describe the outcome. Get a programme plan mapped to Schedule VII, with baseline indicators you can edit.

Drafts speed the work. Your Committee still approves.

Fund

Partner review, milestone plan, and role-based sign-off before any rupee moves.

Every approval logged. Every tranche tied to evidence.

Prove

Field evidence collected as work happens — so Board packs and assessments show what changed, not only what was spent.

You keep the trail. Independent agencies still verify.

Assessment-ready

Keep evidence while the programme runs

Independent assessments take longest when the record is rebuilt after the fact. Sahaay dates field evidence as work happens so assessors verify — they do not start from email.

  • Baseline set at design, not after completion
  • Field data structured and dated as it arrives
  • ₹1 crore assessment triggers flagged early
  • Assessor verifies a complete file

Five stages, one trail

Each step feeds the next — so impact is not reconstructed in March.

Common questions

How is this different from a CSR marketplace?

A marketplace helps you find NGOs. Sahaay covers what comes next — programme design, diligence, staged funding, and filing-ready records.

We use spreadsheets today. Why change?

Spreadsheets work until someone asks you to reconstruct an 18-month-old decision. Sahaay keeps a dated trail of who approved what, and on what evidence.

Does Sahaay do our statutory impact assessment?

No. Law requires an independent agency. We keep a complete record so the agency verifies instead of rebuilding — which is what makes assessments slow.

Does software decide funding?

No. Drafts and gap flags are optional aids. Your team and Committee approve every programme, partner, and release.

Where does employee giving fit?

In the same workspace as mandated CSR — payroll, matching, and volunteering roll into one view for leadership.
