Programme workflow

Committees fund programmes that can show results

Turn Board intent into a documented plan, review partners before you commit, and release funds only when milestones are met. Impact evidence stays with the programme — ready for audit or Board review.

Why “pick an NGO online” is not enough

Browsing feels like progress. Risk starts when spend is approved without a documented programme, partner review, and payment plan.

How many teams work today
  • Programme files spread across Word, email, and shared folders
  • Partner vetting by referral — checklists live in someone’s inbox
  • Full payment upfront; utilisation proof chased months later
  • CSR-2 built in a rush every financial year end
How Sahaay structures it
  • One programme record from brief through final impact report
  • Same 40-point review for every partner — scored and signed off
  • Payments in stages, tied to verified milestones
  • Board and CSR-2 data updated as work happens — not just in March

Three gates before money moves

Plan → vet → pay — in that order

Each gate produces documents your CSR Committee and auditors can follow without calling three people.

1
Write the programme brief

From intent to Committee-ready plan

State the outcome, geography, beneficiary group, budget range, and Schedule VII theme. Sahaay drafts objectives, timelines, KPIs, and partner criteria. You edit and send for Committee review.

What you get: a complete pack to review — not a blank Word file.

2
Review the NGO partner

40 checks before you sign or pay

Registration (12A, 80G, FCRA where needed), financial health, governance, field capacity, and CSR readiness — scored and saved before any MoU or first payment.

What you get: a decision you can reopen months later.

Open partner review
3
Approve staged payments

Money moves when milestones are verified

Set tranches against delivery milestones. CSR Head and CFO (or your roles) approve each release. The next payment unlocks only after utilisation evidence is in.

What you get: fewer year-end surprises on how money was used.

See approval workflow

Built for Indian CSR law

Schedule VII themes, CSR Committee workflows, and MCA filing (CSR-2) in plain view — not bolted-on templates.

Controls your auditors expect

Role-based approvals and a log of who signed what, when — reconstructable months later.

One view for leadership

CSR Head, CFO, and Company Secretary see the same portfolio — no conflicting versions.
