Abstract: This paper documents the results of a survey of 100 NGOs with respect to their preparedness to implement CSR projects planned by eligible companies in order to comply with the CSR legislation outlined in Section 135 of the Companies Act of India (2013). Our results provide some reasons to conclude that NGOs are displaying many elements of preparedness, such as having a mission and vision statement, elements of a governance and processes to measure impact. However a major limitation is the availability of talented employees and their retention.
