FAQs
ImpactGuru is a social enterprise that provides crowdfunding support for medical, personal, and non-profit causes. Our mission is to help finance the critical illnesses of over 1 million / 10 lakh patients over the next decade. To provide the best experience to our customers, we have to incur various costs relating to technology infrastructure, dedicated staff, fundraiser outreach, due diligence and vetting, disbursing funds, and updating donors on fund utilization.
Only when we sustain, will we be able to achieve our mission. Just like a hospital charges a fee to treat patients or an academic institution to educate students, we too charge a fee for some of our services as a single solution does not cater to every customer. In India, healthcare and education require a personalized and customized approach, likewise, crowdfunding too! We constantly strive to provide the best fundraising experience and support to all our customers and our pricing plans reflect the value we deliver in helping our customers achieve their fundraising goals at the lowest possible cost.
While our 0% ImpactGuru Platform Fee* plan is tailored to perfectly fit those customers who are familiar with crowdfunding, our other plans, Assist and Collaborate, and our Accelerate initiative, entail a variety of value added services for those who need additional support with fundraising. At ImpactGuru, we invest an abundant amount of time and effort to provide high touch customer support, customised outreach plans, multimedia support and much more as a part of these plans to provide a fruitful fundraising experience.
For medical cases, the funds are transferred directly by ImpactGuru to the hospital or a healthcare institution such as a healthcare at home service, clinic, pharmacy, or diagnostic center.
For NGOs, the funds are transferred directly by ImpactGuru to the NGO’s domestic and/or FCRA bank accounts.
In exceptional cases, based on the due diligence standards and policies of ImpactGuru, funds are transferred to the campaigner / patient’s family.
Customers who are running a Self-Driven / Do it Yourself fundraiser can seek additional support by upgrading to the Assist or Collaborate model and can reach out to their Relationship Manager to initiate the process.
The Accelerate initiative of ImpactGuru caters primarily towards those individuals who are unable to create or manage their own fundraiser due to lack of education, access to smartphones, or social networks for fundraising support. ImpactGuru provides fundraising support in such cases by maximizing outreach, leveraging all fundraising channels.
