Report of Board of Trustees RangDe.Org 2011-12

The year 2011-12 began with an inspiring moment for the entire nation. Our Men in Blue did us proud by bringing the World Cup home. Rang Des fundraising received a big boost with the launch of our biggest online campaign - The Rang De world cup fever. Thus began our journey into the financial year. Having successfully completed 2 financial years, we had put behind us the microfinance crisis with a strong resolve to support our field partners in every way possible. Rang Des focus for 2011-12 has been to strengthen the foundation of the organization in all areas. Our learning from previous years has helped us in fine tuning the model. The organisations aim is to scale up the operations meaningfully and to strive hard to delight our social investors with their Rang De Experience. These are some of the changes the organisation has brought about in the last financial year: Corporate Governance: Rang De is governed by a formal board of trustees who oversee the operations of the organization and also support the management team. The Board of Trustees has been meeting periodically and is closely monitoring the organisations progress. The board meetings have been a great platform for setting the agenda and prioritizing focus areas for the management team. The details of trustees are as follows:

Rang De Advisory group: There is a growing need for organizations like Rang De to be more effective and productive. One the many ways to achieve this is by broadening and strengthening the constitution of advisory group. The Rang De advisory group consists of business leaders who guide Rang De on various aspects ranging from operations and technology to marketing. Resource Mobilisation: With the world cup fever being a huge success, the organization was able to pull off a series of online and offline campaigns to create awareness, drive social investors and raise funds for the communities we work with. The world cup fever helped the organization raise Rs.10 Lakhs as social investments. Similarly the Christmas Campaign helped in reaching out to social investors. A combination of creativity and dedication is required to mobilize funds and people for a cause. The grand finale in resource mobilization came with hosting Robin Sharma for a leadership seminar in Bangalore. A fundraiser of this sort is perhaps a once in a life time opportunity for non-profits. It was Rang Des privilege to host the bestselling author and leadership Guru. Rang De was able to bring more than 900 people across India for the event. Audits & Review: A sharp focus on audits and reviews of our field partners marked the year for the operations team. Regular audits and operational reviews of our field partners in addition to handholding them has helped the team identify only those field partners that have been doing excellent work and in helping them scale up their operations. The team now follows an internal calendar for audit of field partners. These audits cover not only financial records but also operations and processes being followed by the organisation. Recommendations are made to the field partners wherever required and compliance is monitored. Transparency: Since inception, Transparency has been one of the fundamental aspects for Rang De. Our efforts have been aimed at ensuring that this penetrates all the way to the end borrower. We have ensured that interest rates charged to the borrower have been published against every loan. Both the flat rates and the APR rates are displayed. Our field partners cannot charge any hidden charges and if there is good enough reason to charge a processing fee, the reason as well as the charges need to be disclosed by our field partners. The field partners are regularly audited and their operations reviewed. A summarized report of these audits will soon be available. Social investors and chapter members have also joined Rang De team. Social investors have independently visited field areas for borrower evaluations.

This is being automated and detailed reports will be made available online. Statutory registrations Following are the particulars of registration of the organization with statutory authorities.

The year ahead Austere times require audacious goals. The last two years have been marked by slow down in micro credit space. The resources have dried up and smaller organisations have either closed operations or are finding it extremely difficult to manage them. The outreach of large organisations has reduced. The worst affected are the beneficiaries who dont have access to funds. We believe that when resources are scarce, innovation is the only route to growth. For the new financial year, our plan is to scale up our outreach. By December 2012, our goal is to disburse Rs.1 crore every month and reach out to more than 1000 low income households. By March 2013, our field partner network would have grown to a size of 40 non-profit organisations across India. With scale comes an increased responsibility and Rang De will be implementing process frameworks to detect any process violation and achieve excellence in our work. This is going to be the most exciting year for all of us at Rang De. We look forward to the support of our social investors, corporates, our field partners and everyone who has been contributing to the growth of Rang De.
