Talk to the Founders Sign in

Sampoorna Intelligence is a funder intelligence platform for Indian NGOs that tells you where to go next and who to go with. Instead of spraying generic proposals to hundreds of funders, Sampoorna builds a researched shortlist of funders matched to your sector, geography, budget, and timing — then produces evidence-backed intelligence briefs so you understand each funder before you reach out. Coverage spans CSR companies, Indian and international foundations, and structured public filings across India. NGOs use it to decide the pursuit before outreach: Research → Shortlist → Understand → Connect. Pricing is ₹59,999/year — talk to the founders to get started. The result is strategic connection, not spray outreach — fewer proposals sent, but each one aligned to a funder you actually understand.

Why do Indian NGOs struggle to find funding?

Indian NGOs struggle to find funding because fundraising fails on matching, not money. NGOs spend too long researching funders with limited public information, then send high-volume outreach that misses the right decision-makers and timing. Misaligned proposals waste months before an NGO learns a funder is not a fit. The core problem is that most NGOs have no systematic way to identify which funders align with their sector, geography, budget range, and stage — so they default to sending more proposals to more funders, which rarely converts. A researched funder list with sector fit, geography alignment, budget match, timing intelligence, and entry paths outperforms generic proposal blasts by a wide margin. Sampoorna solves this by building that researched shortlist for each NGO before any outreach begins.

What does Sampoorna provide for NGOs?

Sampoorna provides four layers of funder intelligence for Indian NGOs. First, intelligence briefs — 22-section per-funder briefs with evidence-backed scores, behavioral trajectory analysis, and approach guidance, each signal tied to a documented source. Second, Sector Universe — a browsable map of funding buckets across CSR archetypes, foundation archetypes, and funder tribes. Third, My Universe — matched funder rankings for your specific NGO based on sector, geography, budget, and timing fit. Fourth, Act and connect — funding corridors linking geography, funder, and sector; warm-path introductions from your anchors to decision-makers; consortium opportunities; and pursuit tools so outreach always follows research. Together these layers let an NGO decide the pursuit before outreach, not after.

How does Sampoorna's funding intelligence work?

Sampoorna's funding intelligence works by combining three public data sources — MCA CSR filings, IATI aid data, and FCRA registration records — into a unified funder view, then scoring each funder against an NGO's profile across sector fit, geography alignment, budget range, grant timing, and relationship paths. For each funder matched to an NGO, Sampoorna generates a 22-section intelligence brief covering spend history, sector priorities, geographic focus, decision-maker contacts, behavioral trajectory, and approach strategy. Every signal in a brief is tied to a documented source so NGOs can verify the reasoning behind each recommendation. The process is Research → Shortlist → Understand → Connect: the NGO reviews the matched shortlist, reads the briefs, decides which funders to pursue, and only then begins outreach.

How is Sampoorna different from a CSR database?

Sampoorna is different from a CSR database because a database tells you where money went, while Sampoorna tells you where to go next and who to go with. Daanveda and similar India CSR databases let you search historical CSR spending — useful for research, but they do not tell an NGO which funders to pursue, why, or how to approach them. Candid and GuideStar cover US foundations only, with no India CSR data. Benevity is a corporate-side giving management platform — the opposite side of the table. Sampoorna's moat is the combination of MCA, IATI, and FCRA data; NGO-side intelligence (not funder-side); corridor and network analysis that maps warm paths between your anchors and funder decision-makers; a collaboration engine for consortium proposals; and 22-section per-NGO briefs that explain the reasoning behind each recommendation, not just the data.

How much does Sampoorna cost?

Sampoorna costs ₹59,999 per year — talk to the founders to get started. This is founding partner pricing and includes full intelligence briefs, matched funder universe, pursuit playbooks, contact requests, and partnership support. Special pricing is available for grassroots NGOs and smaller organisations. Talk to the founders to walk through a sample brief for your sector and geography before committing. Sampoorna is neither a database nor a consulting service; it is a funder intelligence platform that combines the depth of consulting with the reach of software. There are no consultants, no retainers, and no hourly billing — you get matched shortlists and detailed briefs per funder so you decide the pursuit before outreach.

Which states does Sampoorna cover for CSR funding?

Sampoorna covers CSR funding across all Indian states and union territories, with dedicated state-level intelligence guides for Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Delhi NCR, Telangana, Odisha, and Bihar. Each state guide provides researched shortlists of CSR funders active in that state, broken down by sector — education, healthcare, livelihoods, environment, and women's empowerment. Geography is fundraising strategy: a funder active in Maharashtra education has a different profile, timing, and approach path than one active in Bihar livelihoods. Sampoorna's funding corridor analysis links geography, funder, and sector so NGOs can identify which districts and sectors have the most funder attention before they begin outreach.

What data sources does Sampoorna use?

Sampoorna uses three structured public data sources: Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) CSR filings for corporate CSR spending and committee details; IATI (International Aid Transparency Initiative) data for international institutional and foundation funding flows into India; and FCRA registration records for foreign contribution compliance and donor tracking. These are combined with partner-sourced information on foundation portfolios and CSR committee compositions. Every signal in a Sampoorna intelligence brief is tied to a documented source — an NGO can trace any score, recommendation, or contact detail back to the underlying filing, registration, or publication. Briefs explain the reasoning behind each recommendation, not just the data, so NGOs understand why a funder is a fit before they reach out.

Who built Sampoorna Intelligence?

Sampoorna Intelligence was founded in 2024 by a team with deep experience in India's social development sector, data engineering, and fundraising strategy. The team built the platform to solve a problem they saw repeatedly: NGOs with strong programs losing funding cycles to better-researched competitors, not better programs. The platform combines rigorous data engineering — structured ingestion of MCA, IATI, and FCRA records — with sector expertise to produce intelligence briefs that are both evidence-backed and actionable. Sampoorna is based in New Delhi and serves NGOs across India. The team is accessible directly via email at founder@sampoornaintelligence.com or through the "Talk to the Founders" option on this page.

Is Sampoorna trustworthy and how is data handled?

Sampoorna is built on trust principles: every recommendation is traceable to a documented public source, NGO data is isolated per organisation and never shared across accounts, and all traffic is encrypted with TLS 1.3 end-to-end. The platform does not sell or share NGO data with funders or third parties. Data at rest is encrypted with server-side encryption on both Postgres and Cloudflare R2 storage. Signed URLs for any document access have a time-to-live of 15 minutes or less. Sampoorna's privacy policy is available at /privacy, and the team can be contacted directly at founder@sampoornaintelligence.com for any data or security questions. The platform is hosted on Cloudflare's edge network with DDoS protection and strict security headers including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options.

Frequently asked questions

How does Sampoorna help Indian NGOs find funding?

Sampoorna is the funder intelligence platform for India's social sector — where to go next, and who to go with. We build a researched shortlist and evidence-backed briefs for your sector and geography, then help you connect strategically instead of spraying proposals.

Why should NGOs start engaging with Sampoorna now?

Funding attention is more competitive every cycle. Waiting another quarter usually means another round of misaligned outreach. Talk to the founders this week.

Why does a researched funder list matter more than sending more proposals?

In competitive funding cycles, committees screen for fit early. A short, researched list — with sector, geography, budget, timing, and entry paths — lets you connect strategically. High-volume outreach without understanding the funder rarely converts.

What makes Sampoorna's intelligence reliable?

Sampoorna uses structured public and partner-sourced information on CSR, foundations, and international funders in India. Every signal is tied to a documented source, and our briefs explain the reasoning behind each recommendation.

Is Sampoorna a database or a consulting service?

Neither. Sampoorna is a funder intelligence platform — depth of consulting with the reach of software. You get matched shortlists and detailed briefs per funder, so you decide the pursuit before outreach. No consultants, no retainers, no hourly billing.

Do you work with grassroots or small NGOs?

Yes. We offer special pricing for grassroots NGOs and smaller organisations. Talk to the founders — we'll walk through a sample brief for your sector and geography so you can see whether the intelligence is useful before committing.

How do you find contacts?

After you shortlist a funder, Surya helps surface CSR and sustainability contacts — names, roles, and public profiles — so outreach follows research. Talk to the founders to see how this works for your NGO.
