NGO fundraising software

Your own donation page, zero platform fees

Raise ₹10 lakh on a marketplace and roughly ₹60,000 never reaches your work — and the donor who gave it belongs to their list, not yours. Sevastack gives your NGO its own branded donation page — UPI, QR, cards, net banking and NEFT — settling straight to your bank at 0% platform fee, with 80G receipts issued automatically.

Illustrative campaign. Your page carries your logo, your story and your goal.

What should NGO fundraising software actually give you?

Donations on your own page, money reaching your bank without a cut, a donor list still yours in five years.

Your own branded donation page

Your NGO's donation page carries your name, logo and story — not a listing on somebody else's marketplace. Share the link on WhatsApp or embed it on your site.

UPI, QR, cards, net banking & NEFT

Accept UPI VPA and scannable QR, cards and net banking through your own gateway, NEFT/IMPS, and cash recorded by hand — all settling to your NGO's own bank account.

0% platform fee

A 6% marketplace cut on ₹10 lakh is ₹60,000. Sevastack charges 0% platform fee — you keep every rupee less only your payment gateway's charge, which the donor can cover.

Automatic 80G receipts

Every online donation issues an 80G receipt the moment payment clears, carrying your 80G URN, the donor's PAN and a QR code the donor can verify.

Campaign & project fundraising

Give each project its own campaign page with a goal, the story, field photographs and a progress bar that moves as donations arrive.

Donor CRM — your data, forever

Every donor and gift lands in your own CRM, PAN-validated, with lifetime giving history — the donor relationship stays yours, not a platform's.

What does a platform fee actually cost an NGO?

The percentage sounds small until you convert it into what you would have funded with it.

Marketplace or your own fundraising software?

Marketplaces are useful for reach, expensive in fees and donor ownership. Sevastack is the engine you run yourself.

NGO fundraising software — FAQs

What is the best fundraising software for NGOs in India?

Sevastack is fundraising software for Indian NGOs, free to start. Instead of listing your cause on a crowdfunding marketplace that takes a cut of every donation, it gives your NGO its own branded donation page accepting UPI, QR, cards, net banking and NEFT — money settles straight into your bank account at 0% platform fee, 80G receipts are issued automatically, and the donor data stays yours. The free plan includes the donation page with UPI and QR; Razorpay card and net-banking checkout is included from the {GATEWAY_PLAN} plan.

How is Sevastack different from Ketto, Give.do, Milaap or ImpactGuru?

Those are crowdfunding marketplaces: donors give through the platform's site, the platform typically takes a percentage of each donation, and it owns the donor relationship. Sevastack is software your NGO runs itself — donations come in on your own branded page, at 0% platform fee, straight to your bank, and every donor stays in your CRM. You can still list your cause on marketplaces; Sevastack is the fundraising engine you own.

Does Sevastack charge a platform fee on donations?

No. Sevastack charges 0% platform fee on donations. You keep 100% of what donors give, aside from the standard charge levied by your payment gateway (for example Razorpay or your UPI provider). Funds are settled directly to your NGO's bank account — Sevastack never holds donor money.

Which payment gateways does Sevastack support?

Nine, all from the Growth plan: Razorpay, Cashfree, PhonePe, PayU, CCAvenue, BillDesk, Easebuzz, Instamojo and Stripe (for foreign donors paying in USD). UPI VPA, scannable QR and bank transfer work on every plan, including the free one. You connect your own merchant account, so settlement is your gateway's relationship with your bank, not ours.

Can the donor cover the payment gateway fee?

Yes. By default your NGO absorbs the gateway charge and the donor pays exactly the amount they picked. Switch the fee bearer to the donor and the charged amount is grossed up instead, so the amount you selected is what actually reaches your bank.

Can donors pay by UPI for my NGO?

Yes. Your branded donation page accepts UPI (both VPA and scannable QR), cards and net banking through your own gateway, and NEFT/IMPS. You can also record cash and offline donations manually so all giving lives in one place.

Can donors set up a monthly recurring donation?

Yes, from the Growth plan. Recurring giving turns a one-time flood-appeal donor into predictable monthly income, and each instalment issues its own 80G receipt and lands in the donor's lifetime history automatically.

Do donors get an 80G receipt automatically when they donate online?

Yes. Every online donation triggers an IT Act-compliant 80G receipt with your 80G URN, the donor's PAN, and a QR verification code, emailed to the donor instantly. There is no manual receipting after a campaign.

Can I run fundraising campaigns for specific projects?

Yes. Create a fundraising page per project or cause with a goal amount, story, image gallery, and a live progress bar. Share each campaign's own link so donors see exactly what their contribution funds and how close the goal is.

Do I own my donor data with Sevastack?

Yes. Unlike a marketplace, every donor and donation flows into your own donor CRM with PAN validation and lifetime giving history. You own the donor relationship permanently and can re-engage donors for future campaigns anytime.
