Sevastack or Give — which should an Indian NGO choose?

Give and Sevastack differ on who owns the donor. Give is a curated donation marketplace: your NGO is vetted and listed, donors give through Give's platform, a fee applies, and the platform holds the donor relationship — in exchange you reach corporate and payroll-giving donors you could not reach alone. Sevastack is software your NGO runs itself: your own branded donation page at 0% platform fee, funds settling straight to your bank, 80G receipts issued automatically, and every donor stored in your own CRM. NGOs that want a permanent, owned fundraising base choose Sevastack; those that want vetted-donor and corporate reach often keep a Give listing alongside it.

Choose Sevastack if

You want a donation page on your own domain rather than a marketplace profile
0% platform fee and direct settlement to your NGO's bank account matter
You need donor data, 80G receipts and Form 10BD in one system you control
You want to start immediately, without waiting on a vetting queue

Use Give as well if

You want access to corporate and payroll-giving donors on a curated platform
Third-party vetting is itself a trust signal you want to display
You are willing to trade a fee and the donor relationship for that reach

Frequently asked

What is the difference between Sevastack and Give (Give.do / GiveIndia)?+

Give (Give.do / GiveIndia) is a donation marketplace that vets NGOs and gives donors a trusted place to give, holding the donor relationship. Sevastack is fundraising software your NGO runs itself — donations come in on your own branded page at 0% platform fee, settle directly to your bank account, and every donor stays in your CRM. Many NGOs use both: a marketplace for reach and credibility, Sevastack as the donation engine they own.

Is Sevastack a good Give.do alternative for NGOs?+

For NGOs that want a self-serve donation page they control, want to keep 100% of donations (aside from standard payment-gateway charges), and want to own donor data, Sevastack is a strong alternative. Give's marketplace can still add donor discovery and corporate access on top.

Does Give charge a platform fee?+

Donation marketplaces generally levy a platform fee on donations in addition to payment-gateway charges. The exact rate changes over time — verify Give's current fee directly. Sevastack charges a 0% platform fee; only your payment gateway's standard charge applies.

Do I need to be vetted to use Sevastack?+

No. Sevastack is self-serve — create an account, enter your NGO's 80G/12A details, and publish a branded donation page in about five minutes. Marketplaces like Give typically require a vetting or due-diligence process before listing.

Do I own my donor data with Sevastack?+

Yes. Every donor and donation flows into your own donor CRM with PAN validation and lifetime history, so you own the relationship and can re-engage donors anytime — unlike a marketplace where donor data is held by the platform.
