The Trust Score, At a Glance
Five pillars. One honest number.

Your score is built from five weighted pillars — each checked against source documents, refreshed every quarter. The methodology is public, the deductions are itemized, and there is no way to buy a higher score.

Why We Built PATVAAR
Good NGOs shouldn't need a famous name to get funded.
"We treat trust as infrastructure — a structured, continuously-audited public layer — not as a private conversation between two people who already know each other."

Verify once, trusted everywhere.
One verification, recognised by every funder on the platform — and structured to be recognised outside it too. No more parallel diligence cycles.
Open methodology. Public scores.
The weights, the deductions, the hard-fail triggers — all published. No black-box scoring, no pay-to-rank, no "premium tier" that buys you visibility.
Designed for both sides equally.
NGOs aren't applicants to be filtered. Funders aren't gatekeepers to be impressed. Both post, both browse, both express interest — on the same rails.
A Note from Our Founder
Why we started PATVAAR.
SK
Founder's Note
"India's impact sector deserves infrastructure — not just goodwill."

I founded PATVAAR in 2026 with a single conviction: that the disconnect between capable NGOs and purposeful capital is not a problem of intent. It is a problem of infrastructure. Trust has no standard. Verification has no system. Impact has no shared language.

I have watched extraordinary NGOs — run by quiet, disciplined, honest people — lose grants to bigger names with better networks. I have watched funders spend ₹40 lakh on diligence for a ₹2 crore grant, simply because there was no common standard.

PATVAAR exists to fix that. One verification, one score, one shared language of trust — so the next time an NGO in Sitapur with a brilliant idea meets a CSR team in Mumbai, the conversation can start at "how do we help?" instead of "can we trust you?"

If you're an NGO doing good work — get verified. If you're a funder looking for impact — join us. We're building the infrastructure for a more honest impact economy.
