HR Software for NGOs & Non-Profits
Your funding should go toward your mission — not expensive HR software. SnapHRM gives NGOs enterprise-grade HR tools at a fraction of the cost.
NGOs and non-profits operate with tight budgets, distributed teams, and strict donor reporting requirements. Managing field staff attendance, processing compliant payroll, and maintaining employee records should not consume resources meant for your mission. SnapHRM provides the HR infrastructure you need at a price you can afford — starting free.
HR Challenges in NGOs & Non-Profits
Common pain points that hold your team back
Limited Budget for Software
Donors fund programs, not back-office tools. Justifying ₹10,000-20,000 per month on HR software when that money could fund a community program is difficult. NGOs need affordable — ideally free — solutions.
Distributed & Field-Based Teams
Program staff work in villages, slums, and remote areas. They do not sit in an office with a biometric device. Tracking their attendance and work hours requires mobile-first tools that work in low-connectivity areas.
Donor Reporting & Audit Trails
Donors and auditors require detailed records of staff costs, attendance, and project allocations. Pulling this data from spreadsheets for every audit cycle is inefficient and error-prone.
Statutory Compliance for Small Teams
Even small NGOs with 10-15 employees must comply with PF, ESI, and TDS requirements. Without an HR team or accountant on staff, compliance often falls through the cracks.
Volunteers, Staff & Grant-Based Costing
A single roster mixes salaried employees, stipend-based program staff, and unpaid volunteers, each needing different pay and attendance rules. Donors often expect staff time to be allocated back to the specific grant or program it was spent on, which is hard to do accurately in a spreadsheet.
How SnapHRM Helps NGOs & Non-Profits
Built to handle your industry's specific needs
Free for Small NGOs
SnapHRM is free for up to 5 employees — many small NGOs can run entirely on the free plan. Paid plans start at ₹499 per month, affordable even for grant-funded organizations.
Mobile Attendance for Field Staff
Field workers clock in from the SnapHRM mobile app with GPS coordinates. Program managers can see who is in the field, where they checked in, and their working hours — without phone calls.
Reports for Donor Audits
Generate attendance reports, payroll summaries, and employee records for any date range. Export as CSV or PDF for donor submissions and auditor reviews. Data is always audit-ready.
Built-In PF, ESI & TDS Compliance
SnapHRM calculates statutory deductions automatically. Even without a dedicated accountant, your NGO stays compliant with labor laws. Generate PF ECR files and TDS reports without manual calculation.
Separate Volunteer & Salaried Staff Records
Set up salaried employees with full payroll and PF/ESI deductions, and stipend-based or volunteer program staff with attendance-only tracking, side by side. For NGOs that need data to stay on their own servers, SnapHRM Pro (self-hosted, one-time payment) offers the same features without a recurring subscription.
