The problem in NGOs and fundraising teams
NGOs depend on monthly donors, but retention is fragile: NACH mandates fail when a card or account changes, thank-you calls never happen, and lapsed donors are not contacted until it is too late. Since 2021, charities must report donations in Form 10BD using the donor's PAN so donors receive Form 10BE for their 80G deduction, and missing PANs create year-end chaos. Small fundraising teams cannot call every donor personally.
What the AI employee actually does
- 01Call new donors within days of their first gift to thank them and confirm their details
- 02Call donors whose NACH or card mandate failed, explain what happened and send a fresh mandate link on WhatsApp
- 03Run PAN and address collection campaigns ahead of Form 10BD filing so donors receive their 80G certificate
- 04Run reactivation campaigns to lapsed monthly donors with a short update on the programme they supported
- 05Call people who respond to a Meta fundraising ad within 30 seconds to complete the pledge
Businesses measure this on one number: donor retention rate and failed-mandate recovery rate.
Hear how a call goes
A sample NGOs and fundraising teams call
A Jaipur education charity's agent calls a monthly donor whose NACH mandate failed after he changed his bank account. · Runs in Hindi with English words; shown here in English.
- Outpero AINamaste, this is the AI assistant of the Roshni Education Trust, Jaipur. Am I speaking with Mohan ji? You support a child's schooling every month, and we are grateful. May I take two minutes to tell you about a payment problem?
- CallerYes, go ahead. What happened?
- Outpero AIThis month's donation did not go through. The bank mandate was rejected, and it often happens when the account has changed. Did you switch your bank account recently?
- CallerYes, I moved my salary to a different bank in August.
- Outpero AIThat explains it. If you wish to continue, I can send a fresh mandate link on WhatsApp for the new account. Would you like that?
- CallerActually, this year is tight with expenses. I want to pause for a few months.
- Outpero AIOf course, there is no pressure. I will record a pause and not send reminders. May I ask if a short WhatsApp update on the child's progress, once a quarter, is still welcome?
- CallerYes, updates are fine. Do you need my PAN for the 80G certificate?
- Outpero AIWe do need PAN to issue the receipt for what you have already given, but please do not share it on this call. I am sending a secure form link on WhatsApp, and you can fill it whenever convenient.
- CallerGood, send it.
- Outpero AISent. Thank you for your support so far, Mohan ji. If you ever want us to stop contacting you, just say so and we will remove your number.
Failed-mandate reason recorded (changed bank account). Donor chose to pause, so no new mandate was sent and reminders were suppressed. Consent recorded for a quarterly WhatsApp update only, PAN-collection link sent on WhatsApp, opt-out offered and logged.

- →Meta fundraising and awareness ads that lead to a pledge or donation form
- →Abandoned donation checkouts from your own website payment page

Leads reach the agent by webhook, Zapier or Make, a CRM workflow, a CSV upload, or by parsing the alert email a portal sends — whichever your source supports.
Rules that shape the call
What NGOs and fundraising teams need to get right
| Rule or norm | What it means for the agent |
|---|---|
| Income-tax Act, 1961: Section 80G, Form 10BD and Form 10BE | Donation receipts and the annual donor statement depend on correct donor details. The agent asks for confirmation and sends a secure link, not PAN read aloud on the call. |
| RBI framework for recurring payments and mandates | A failed mandate needs the donor's fresh authorisation. The agent can send a link but never collects card or bank credentials over a call. |
| Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010 | Where foreign contributions are involved, only organisations with the required registration may accept them. The agent follows your approved script and does not solicit from donors abroad on its own. |
| TRAI TCCCPR, 2018 and Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 | Donor calls need the donor's consent, a clear way to opt out, and DND screening for appeals. An opt-out request ends contact and is logged. |
General information, not legal advice. Calls also run under TRAI’s rules on DLT-registered lines and the DND registry.

How it opens the call
नमस्ते, पिछले महीने आपके donation के लिए दिल से धन्यवाद। आपकी 80G receipt के लिए PAN number confirm करना था।

NGOs & Fundraising — questions people ask
Can an AI voice agent work for NGOs and fundraising teams?
+
Yes. Outpero's AI voice agent handles NGOs and fundraising teams calls end to end — running thank-you, failed-mandate and PAN-collection campaigns to existing donors. It works 24 hours a day in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam and English, switching to English the moment the caller does.
What does an AI voice agent do for NGOs and fundraising teams?
+
For NGOs and fundraising teams, an Outpero AI employee will call new donors within days of their first gift to thank them and confirm their details; call donors whose NACH or card mandate failed, explain what happened and send a fresh mandate link on WhatsApp; run PAN and address collection campaigns ahead of Form 10BD filing so donors receive their 80G certificate; run reactivation campaigns to lapsed monthly donors with a short update on the programme they supported. Every call is recorded, transcribed and summarised automatically.
How much does an AI voice agent cost for NGOs and fundraising teams in India?
+
Outpero has no setup fee and no monthly base fee — you pay only for connected talk time, from ₹5 per minute (1 credit = ₹1, credits never expire), plus ₹649/month for a dedicated calling number. A full-time telecaller doing the same job costs around ₹18,000 a month, works one shift and handles one call at a time. Prices exclude 18% GST.
How fast does it respond to a new NGOs and fundraising teams enquiry?
+
Under 30 seconds from the enquiry landing. That matters here because nGOs depend on monthly donors, but retention is fragile: NACH mandates fail when a card or account changes, thank-you calls never happen, and lapsed donors are not contacted until it is too late. Since 2021, charities must report donations in Form 10BD using the donor's PAN so donors receive Form 10BE for their 80G deduction, and missing PANs create year-end chaos. Small fundraising teams cannot call every donor personally.
Is an AI thank-you call too impersonal for donors?
+
It can be, if it tries to be something it is not. A short call that thanks the donor by name, mentions the programme they gave to and confirms their details is better than no call, which is what most donors currently get. Keep major donors with your team. The agent works best for the many monthly donors nobody has time to call personally.
How should failed-mandate calls be handled?
+
As service, not collection. The agent tells the donor that this month's contribution did not go through, mentions common reasons such as a changed account or expired card, and asks whether they would like a new mandate link on WhatsApp. If they want to pause or stop, it records that respectfully and does not press. Recovered mandates and stop requests both go to your webhook.
What about donor data and privacy?
+
Donor PAN, address and payment details are personal data under the DPDP Act 2023. The agent collects only what you need — usually PAN and address for Form 10BD — and writes it to your secure sheet or system via webhook. Restrict dashboard access, avoid reading full PAN numbers aloud, and tell donors why you need it. Most are glad to share once they know it secures their tax deduction.
Can it call people who pledged on the street or at an event?
+
Yes, and quickly is better, because face-to-face and event pledges often lapse before the first debit. Upload the day's pledge list as a campaign and the agent calls that evening to thank the donor, confirm the amount and frequency, and resolve any mandate issue. Calls that reveal a misunderstood pledge are flagged, which also helps you monitor how fundraisers are pitching.
