NGO Connect started in Mumbai ten years ago as a project of Shakti, registered as a Trust in 1985 by a group of women who saw the need for, training and networking in the NGO sector.

Since moving to Bangalore, NGO Connect is now an entity on its own. It continues to be a bi-monthly printed paper, with a strong Net presence and hopes to be self supporting in some time.

NGO Connect needs the cooperation and assistance of cconcerned citizens, NGOs and corporates to make this service a positive contribution to strengthen the nonprofit sector. Send us news about your local community, your NGO, your favourite person; corporates can send us their CSR ventures so more people know about them; and NGOs can update their events/annual statements/conference/job requirements. All, or nearly all, items carry an email address or a tel. number for networking. In a way, as someone said, it is THE publication for all NGOs.

Since NGOConnect is self-funded (through subscriptions and advertising) it does not depend on grants or subsidies. We strongly believe that any activity/individual must become self-sufficient to be able to be truly independent.
