Impact Guru Reviews 108

Even after sending mailer to close my account and being asked to remove my number from database, I am continuously getting calls which are sometimes disturbing and harassing. I have removed my account from their app as well. But they have no sense and continuously calling me. Their callers sometimes speak in a threatening and ridiculing tone over the phone. They tell that in a month they will make only one call but I have got more than one call this month itself. I think this organisation is a fake and scam organisation.

its very good platform and very useful for very poor people

I had donated to impact guru several times in past . So when one of my village relative was in need I created a fundraiser and informed impact guru about their poor background and education along with their need for an operation. I was in a little shock when they said they have 9.4% platform fee. I agreed! We collected $ 1700+ all of the money through my friends and relatives. When the day came , I asked them to transfer to the beneficiary. I was in major shock again when they said only 90 k rupees will be transferred, rest will be deducted as a fee and promotion. So out of 150 k collected they will be giving back only 90 k. As per them the poor guy who has an operation gave consent to use his fund for promotion ( I had already informed them about their poor background and understanding), and so called promotion did not add 1 rupee apart from what I collected through my friends. He needs 22lacs rs , we could collect only 1.5 lac and out of that they are taking 60 k. As a fundraiser initiator I never gave consent for anything apart from the platform fee. So this is 100% dirty fraud. Cyber fraud! Making money from somebody’s misery! Please suggest and help me to fight against them! Please suggest some options, I really want to fight this legally!

I donated for a personal cause once and boy do I regret giving them my phone number. They keep calling me asking me for donations for random causes, in spite of telling them repeatedly not to contact me again, the calls don't stop coming.
I highly advice everyone to not be involved with this company! I'm thinking of taking legal actions.

I don’t want to discourage everyone from donating to those in need, but I want to warn you to avoid donating through this platform. Once you donate, they’ll harass you relentlessly with phone calls at odd hours and throughout the day. They don’t take complaints seriously and keep calling for donations even after you’ve made it clear that you don’t want to continue. This platform should be avoided at all costs.

These people are spammers and making annoying calls at odd times. I helped once but then they are chasing me at odd times to get money. Horrible experience

Terrible! Used them once to help a friend and now they don't stop calling me for "emergencies", asking them to stop doesn't work and their numbers don't get show up with their name, so can't just reject a call like other spam calls :/

Cautionary Experience with ImpactGuru Platform

ImpactGuru markets itself as a crowdfunding platform for medical emergencies, but based on my experience, I would urge potential users to exercise caution. Here’s a summary of my observations and issues:

Initial Contact and Charges:

When you create a fundraiser, their team quickly contacts you under the guise of a "new call."
They explain their charges and services very rapidly, making it hard to grasp the complete picture.
The platform claims they will assist in sharing the fundraiser widely, but in reality, they seem to lack an effective donor network.
High Deductions:

Charges such as due diligence fees (₹3,540 + ₹2,500) are deducted almost immediately.
For instance, if you raise ₹10,000, you might receive only ₹2,000–₹3,000 after deductions.
Additional Costs:

Insurance fees and premium services are aggressively marketed, with deductions made automatically if you opt in by mistake.
These "premium services" provide little tangible value, and funds raised primarily from friends and family end up significantly reduced by platform fees.
Lack of Action:

Despite promises to amplify the fundraiser, their team appears to do minimal work in promoting campaigns.
Core team members like Piyush Jain, Ankita Kumari, and Prashant Pandey seem to focus more on upselling services rather than supporting fundraisers effectively.
Recommendation:
If you are looking to raise funds for a medical emergency, it might be more beneficial to raise money directly in your own account rather than relying on ImpactGuru. While their 80G tax benefits might seem appealing, the deductions and lack of genuine support could outweigh any advantages.

Worst experience

This organization is applying marketing for more donations from the previous donors. My Data has been compromised. Also they deducted commission from the donations received for the patient even after donors paid tip and transaction fees.

I've created an account in 2021, don't even remember for what reason. And surprisingly, they have started to call me since October 2024 and ask for donations. OK, so I've tried to login to the webpage, but it doesn't work. It won't send OTP to my phone number, it won't send email reset link either. This alone is very suspicious to me, so I'm not gonna pay them a dime and block them.

Repeatedly calling for donations despite unsubscribing. I have donated before and don't trust them anymore. They are kind of blackmailing, i have blocked their numbers several times and seems like they just sold our data to other charity scams.

It is totally fraud towards Donors.. one day they called me and asked me the donation, then I said I’ll pay through the online but they said “no mam we will send you link and you can pay through that link” then I paid.. after that every month some amount is deducting from
My account automatically without my concern.. don’t trust these kind of people.. it’s totally fraud

As everyone else they also commit fraud with me once i was donate them by my wish, after that they done mandate ESC from my accound without my concern . I don't know how they do that but they do. And because of their fraud i freeze my account which i used from very long time. So, guys i request to everyone do not donate them anything, once you give them by your wish after that they deduct money from your account automatically. they are gurus of scam.

I was on a phone with a representative of the company where I clearly requested that my subscription should be cancelled a couple of months ago, low and behold I just got paid now and they have taken money out again without my consent or knowledge. They've been doing this for months complete scammers stay clear and if anyone sees, I want my subscription cancelled asap, I also want a refund for the last payment from today.

Update:
They responded and did what I needed, we're very prompt too. Good support team at least

They are fake they will call you and get money from your donation

This company is a scam and I wonder why can’t we leave a google review for this business. They deduct funds from my account without any authorisation.
This business should be banned.

I used to donate some money to impact guru regularly since year for helping people but suddenly nearly £200 which is 20000 rupees gone from account without my knowledge and when I called my bank they said impact guru used my card details for taking illegaly money out from my bank I was shocked 😳…..m not trust them any more

I am requesting Impactguur to cancel.my monthly subscription from last one year they are not cancelling. I have never seen Such a bad customer support management.
