1. What is the need for / value of rating NGOs? (Conceptual reasons as well as from your personal experiences i.e. in case they were rated, how would it have helped you?)
Rating NGOs would help the people around or in need to have the knowledge of different, recognized as well as valuable places where they could approach to seek help, or to provide help and support.
It would help me for the same.
I would like to suggest more than rating, appropriate advertising should me done, since many people are unaware of the NGOs and the services that would help them.
2. On what different criteria should / can NGOs / nonprofits / charities / trusts be rated?
Services provided, professionals, support systems and more
3. Who should rate them? i.e. backgrounds of such organisations or individuals?
Clients, people involved in psychological fields, marketing people, teachers, doctors and ordinary people
4. Which NGOs in your (subjective) opinion are outstanding ones in Mumbai?
Like I said before a lot of marketing is required so many are not even aware of the places, just short listing a few that I am aware of
Lion club, rotary club, Nami India, Peta, and few rehab centre like National Association for the Blind Medical and Psychiatric Social Work Dept All Yavar Jung National Institute for the Hearing Handicapped.
