Testimonial


"This course was the fourth course on fundraising for me apart from 5 incubations at  which I attended fundraising sessions.  The significant difference with danaVrddhi was that it was not just another theory-based training program but had an action-based approach towards fundraising. That’s why I would recommend everyone to be a part of this cohort."

Simranpreet Singh Oberoi, Co-Founder, Sanjhi Sikhiya

“Our experience was very positive. We didn't know what to expect and we started with a target of 5 lacs and we ended up fundraising about 14+ lacs. Everything went off script in a grand sense. ”

Rammanohar Reddy, Vichar Trust - Editor/Trustee

“The whole process was really addictive! Watching the money come to our account was crazy! All-in-all, considering where we started from, which is a very small list of people who had engaged with us before. Overall, a lot of learnings & collecting funds for our projects!”

Thaiza Dias, Grameen First Development Foundation - Promoter- Director

“It's been an incredible journey. We have learned a lot. It's been hard work, but it has been worth it because just in the last 12 weeks, we have communicated more with our donors than in the last 12 years. That says how much we have accomplished in the last few months. Thank you so much, danamojo!”

Ajit Sivaram, Co-Founder - U&I

“I am so happy that I was able to be part of danamojo's danaVrddhi program. I couldn't believe that we could raise 1 Lakh rupees in a day. It was a big surprise for us as an organization. The program was bueatifully crafted. Everysingle month was full of learning. Thank you danavrddhi and everyone who supported the program.”

Anurag Hoon, Co-Founder and CEO at Manzil Mystics

“The end of the programme feels very emotional. Through this programme we have been able to create the organisation's retail fundraising strategy, develop the team's capacity to raise funds, develop retail fundraising leadership ability in the team, and raise 80% more funds than we expected!! The teaching, handholding, and supporting role that danaVrddhi played has been exceptional. I recommend all organisations that are looking to explore retail fundraising as a strategy to apply to this programme.”

Sanyukta Saha, Founder and Executive Director - Aagaaz Theatre Trust

“This is the first time we tried out retail fundraising. We have seen the potential, and we will be doing it as an annual feature from now on during Diwali and during the month of March”

Radha Raj, 17000 ft Foundation - Head Operations

“The 30-day time period was an ideal time frame. Because, as first timers, we could get an opportunity to try out most possible cases and see what is working and what is not.”

Akhil Neelam, CGAP Foundation - Co-founder

“We were first-of-all thrilled to have been selected for this danaVrddhi training, because we had never done anything like this before. The regular calls with Gopi really helped us. So, the format of having mentor-mentee was very nice.”

Kenneth Dsouza, Grameen First Development Foundation - Promoter/CEO

“danaVrddhi helped us build our fundraising muscle! The structured training improved our communications and campaigning significantly! We also loved the coaching support alongside the sessions. If you're looking to institute a culture of fundraising within your organisation, I can't recommend a better programme”
