Community based organizations are essentially nonprofit making organizations that operate within the grass root level in the local community. They are also subsets of larger nonprofit making organizations like Relief trust India. These are bottom up organizations and are more effective in addressing the needs of the community than the larger charitable organizations. They fall into different categories, including but not limited to; educational; personal help and improvement; social welfare; health; community service and action. Relief India trust in its awareness of the important roles played by these organizations, has come all out to partner and work with them to bring about the much needed change in the community. The trust has over the time used these communities based organization as its point of contact and mouthpiece in the community thus ensuring contact with the most remote localities to which these organizations are able to reach. It is also through these organizations that the trust is informed of the real challenges on the ground.

There are a number of ways that Relief India trust has helped these organizations become stable and effective in their diverse causes. The monetary issue. It is important to acknowledge the fact that funding is what keeps these organizations up and running. These organizations rely on individual fund raising to get money. Community fundraisers therefore take a people-focused approach to fundraising. Relationship building is a key part of the people-focused approach to make sure people identify with what they are being called upon to do. Relief India trust helps to communicate the important roles played by the organization in the community. This is done through open days, street processions and other such forums.

Though the structures may be somehow different, the trust helps to ensure effective and proper management. Some of these community based organizations have formally incorporated constitutions and boards of director called committees while others are much smaller and more informal. Whichever the case, these are closely monitored, the personal is given training and supplied with necessities that will see smoother running of their operations. Relief India trust has over the time organized seminars for stakeholders to learn more about how best to approach the issues they are addressing. To be able to ensure more people are reached by the community based organizations, there is a need to form more of them in line with the special needs of particular societies and the unique challenges they face. People are called to forums and informed of how they can come together to address the issues that affect them and this sees the birth of more organizations. The organizations are a sure and sustainable way in this cause as the community is directly involved in the action or operation and whenever monetary and non monetary help is needed.
