Domestic compliance complete.

1M+Volunteers mobilised
What we accept
Five program categories. All run on the volunteer‑first model.
i.
Environment
Miyawaki afforestation, last‑mile solar lighting, water stewardship, e‑waste management, urban biodiversity.
ii.
Education
School infrastructure (revamps, ambulance donations, study lamps), scholarship programs, digital learning kits.
iii.
Health & hygiene
Sanitation drives, menstrual hygiene programs, medical camps, hospital infrastructure support.
iv.
Livelihood
Skill development, women empowerment cohorts, micro‑enterprise support, last‑mile market linkages.
v.
Community
Rural infrastructure, disaster relief, tribal welfare, panchayat‑level community development.
How a partnership runs
Eight steps from first call to year‑end audit.
Discovery call
30 minutes, free. Your CSR thesis, our capability map. We tell you up‑front what we can and cannot deliver.
Program scoping
Site selection, beneficiary mapping, volunteer cohort sizing, government coordination requirements, timeline.
Proposal & budget
Full proposal with line‑item budget within 7 working days. Includes deliverables, milestones, reporting cadence.
MOU signing
Standard CSR MOU on Marpu letterhead. Reviewed by your legal team. Tranche payment schedule defined.
Implementation kickoff
Field staff deployed, volunteer cohort assembled, government permissions secured, baseline data captured.
Monthly progress reporting
Photo documentation, beneficiary numbers, geo‑tagged outputs, financial spend against budget. PDF + PPT deck.
Quarterly site visits
Your CSR team or audit team on the ground. Travel logistics handled by Marpu. We’ve hosted CSR teams from BMS, DSM, Nagase, and others.
Annual Fund Utilisation Certificate & audit
Statutory FUC produced. CA‑certified. Plus an annual impact report for your CSR disclosure.
Ticket sizes
₹5L to ₹2Cr per program. Most engagements sit at ₹15L–₹50L.
Single‑state, single‑program partnerships typically run ₹15L to ₹50L. Multi‑state programs or multi‑year commitments scale to ₹50L to ₹2Cr. Pilots and feasibility programs start at ₹5L. We do not accept program ticket sizes below ₹5L — the field operations and reporting cost structure does not support meaningful work below that threshold.
Pricing is transparent: ~70–75% to direct program costs, 15–20% to field staff and volunteer mobilisation, 8–10% to administration and reporting overhead. Disclosed in every proposal.
Compliance & documentation
Everything your CSR audit team will ask for.
RegistrationSociety Registration Act 1860. Hyderabad jurisdiction.
PANAAGTM4991A
Section 80G & 12ARe‑registration in progress with CIT(E) Hyderabad. Application IDs on request.
10BD filingsFiled for FY 2021–22 through FY 2024–25. 236 donor records on file.
BankingSBI, IDFC, Axis. Account numbers shared on partnership confirmation.
Foreign fundingMarpu does not hold FCRA. Domestic capital only. This is by design, not by gap.
Reporting cadenceMonthly progress, quarterly site visits, annual FUC, year‑end impact report.
Vendor onboardingEmpanelled with IBI Group, Arcadis, and others. Standard Fortune 500 vendor diligence completed.
What CSR partners say
From the people who write the cheques.
“Marpu’s reporting is the cleanest we receive from any implementation partner. Photo documentation, geo‑tagging, financial reconciliation — we don’t have to chase. The volunteer‑first model also extends our reach beyond the program timeline, which matters for impact narrative.”
Reema Bagchi — Bristol‑Myers Squibb, India CSR programme“We selected Marpu for our Miyawaki afforestation programme after evaluating four implementation partners. The combination of academic rigour around the volunteer‑first framework and on‑ground execution capability across multiple states made the difference.”
CSR programme lead — DSM‑Firmenich, India“Their volunteer mobilisation in our district has been remarkable. The plantation drive co‑hosted with our administration was the largest single‑day participation we’ve recorded.”
A District Collector, Telangana — paraphrased per protocol“Marpu is one of the few NGOs in this region that I would describe as institution‑ready. The frameworks they publish actually reflect how they operate.”
A Member of Parliament, Telangana — paraphrased per protocol
Why Volunteer‑First
The model is published. The operations are audited. Both matter.
Most CSR implementation partners optimise for vendor‑style delivery: deploy team, complete deliverable, invoice, exit. The Volunteer‑First model optimises for community embedding: mobilise volunteers from inside the beneficiary community, use your CSR rupees as the catalyst rather than the entire fuel, and leave behind a network that continues operating after the program timeline ends.
Your ROI compounds. Your reach extends. Your impact narrative survives the audit cycle. The published academic framework behind this is on SSRN: Volunteer‑First Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Goal Localization — Evidence from India’s Largest Volunteer‑Led Social Impact Network.
