What Our NGO Partners Are Saying
Trust and reliability are paramount when choosing a partner. Hear directly from non-profit leaders about their experience with LiveHelpIndia.
Outsourcing our bookkeeping to LiveHelpIndia was one of the best decisions we've made. Their team is professional, accurate, and truly understands the nuances of non-profit accounting. It's a huge weight off my shoulders.
Our donor database was a mess before LiveHelpIndia stepped in. They not only cleaned it up but also now manage all our donation processing. The efficiency gains are incredible, and our donors get acknowledged so much faster.
As a small NGO, we could never afford a full-time grant writer. The grant research and proposal support from LiveHelpIndia has been invaluable, helping us secure two major grants we wouldn't have had the capacity to apply for otherwise.
