Onboarding to the IPN directory

Fill out an

interest form⁠

or (if you’re already an IPN partner) email the IPN team.

We will set up a short call to understand your work and see if it aligns with the Directory.

If it’s a good fit, we’ll send you a short onboarding form.

We’ll review the details, publish your profile, and send you a social media kit to promote your listing.

As a Service Provider, you will not have a login to the IPN directory. The IPN team will add your details to the directory and maintain it on your behalf.

How will NGOs reach you via the IPN Directory?

Nonprofit users who discover your profile on the IPN Directory can explore your website or LinkedIn page to find out more details about your services. Registered IPN users can then use the “Connect with Provider” option, which will trigger an email from IPN connecting the nonprofit to you (on your registered email id).

After this connection, further engagement continues directly between you (the service provider) and the nonprofit.
