Getting started — frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up an NGO on Sevastack?

Most NGOs go live the same day. You create the account, add your PAN, 80G URN, 12A and FCRA details, upload the certificates, and import your existing donor list by CSV. There is no implementation project, no consultant, and no software to install.

Do I need training or an IT team to use Sevastack?

No. Sevastack runs in a browser, so there is nothing to install or maintain, and the day-to-day work — recording a donation, issuing a receipt, adding a volunteer — is designed for the person who currently does it in Excel. Most teams never open a manual.

Can I import my existing donor list from Excel?

Yes. Import your donors and their past donations by CSV from Excel or your previous system. PAN validation and duplicate detection run automatically on import, and historical donations can be imported too, so lifetime giving totals and 80G eligibility carry over.

What does it cost to start?

Nothing. The free plan covers the donor CRM, donation recording, automatic 80G receipts, and project tracking for up to 50 donors, 2 projects and 25 volunteers. The paid Growth plan is ₹5,999 per month and adds online payment gateway integration, accounting with the CA portal, HR and payroll, and higher limits.

When do 80G receipts start going out automatically?

As soon as your 80G URN and 12A details are saved and a donation is verified. Each receipt is sequentially numbered, carries your URN, PAN and a QR verification code, and is emailed to the donor as a PDF without anyone on your team creating it.

What happens to our data if we stop using Sevastack?

It stays yours. Donor records, donations, and receipts can be exported to CSV at any time, and donation receipts remain downloadable as PDFs. Sevastack does not own your donor relationships.

Founders and directors on what changed for their NGO.

500+ donors, every rupee tracked

“We used to manage 500+ donors in Excel, and one corrupted file nearly caused a disaster. Sevastack changed everything — now every donor and every rupee is tracked securely.”

Founder · Green Thumb Foundation

10BE generation in 10 minutes

“Our auditor used to spend days cross-checking 80G receipts at year-end. Now, 10BE generation takes just 10 minutes. The compliance alerts even saved us from a costly penalty.”

Director · Donate Aid Society

3 lakhs raised through UPI

“We shared our fundraising campaign on WhatsApp and raised 3 lakhs through UPI. Donors loved seeing exactly where their money was utilized through transparent milestone updates.”

Live in about an hour

“Since 2012, we tried every product out there — each one sold as plug-and-play, each one costing us weeks of configuration before we realized it wasn't built for us. We'd gone back to Excel. With Sevastack, we set up our entity in about an hour and were live.”
