Why is IPN seeking such detailed organisation information?

IPN seeks detailed information from registered organisations to efficiently connect them with donors that Sattva works with. This data is shared with numerous donors, eliminating the need for repetitive submissions for each new opportunity. Here's why this information is crucial:

Enhanced Long listing Potential: By sharing updated profile and compliance-related information, organisations increase their chances of being long listed for grant possibilities.

Due diligence to assess credibility and compliance for funding opportunities: Thorough organisational information demonstrates transparency and accountability, establishing trust with donors and corporate funders.

Improved content and features: By analysing the information shared by the organisation, IPN will be able to provide relevant content, opportunities, and services based on specific geographies, sectors, causes, and more. By seeking detailed organisational information, IPN facilitates effective matchmaking and streamlines the long-listing and shortlisting process. It also fosters transparency and enhances fundraising opportunities for the impact organisations.

What information is required to build my profile? How long does it take to complete the profiling process?

Your organisation details on IPN helps understand your organisation’s profile, the programs you run, your success areas and current needs, and thus help gauge potential opportunities that would best fit your team. Thus, profile building is a vital part of existing on IPN.

There are 4 key sections to an organisation profile:

Registration: This section requires you to fill out basic minimum information such as organisation name, PAN number, website details etc. to register yourself on the IPN platform. This information allows us to authenticate you as a legally registered and functional organisation.

Estimated time to fill out this section: 5 mins

Basic: This section captures information that helps us profile you. This includes information on your date of registration, headquarters, geographical reach, sector focus, budget and others. The profile created will help us understand your organisation better and share recommendations regarding events, resources and potential funding/collaboration opportunities.

Estimated time to fill out this section: 10 mins

Compliance: This section requires you to fill basic compliance details including statutory regulations, registrations, documentation and reporting, financial details, donor details etc. This section helps us understand your alignment to basic due diligence requirements which is critical for improving the discovery of your organisation, esp. during a funding or collaboration opportunity. Further, this also helps in building a strong “public profile” page which can be shared with other donors.

Estimated time to fill out this section: 20 mins

Note: The time taken will be more in case you don’t have the required documents handy.

Compliance Plus: This section captures advanced compliance information such as governance details, leadership and board, execution capabilities of the organisation etc. These are information required during a detailed due diligence or evaluation of an organisation to assess their fitment to a funding/collaboration opportunity. While the completion of this section is critical only if you are shortlisted for a funding opportunity, we highly encourage you to fill out this section and keep it regularly updated as it will help you fast-track the funding process with more ease.

Estimated time to fill out this section : 30 mins

Note: The time taken will be more in case you don’t have the required documents handy
