At Sterling, we help individuals, philanthropists, and social entrepreneurs formally register NGOs, NPOs, and charitable organizations in Pakistan. Whether you aim to serve in health, education, poverty relief, or community development, proper registration gives your organization legal standing, donor credibility, and access to government and international support.
We manage the entire process—from advising you on the best legal structure to completing SECP, FBR, and other required registrations.
Who Needs NGO Registration?
Founders launching a new non-profit or social impact initiative
Community welfare groups formalizing their operations
Organizations seeking foreign or local donor funding
Social projects applying for tax exemptions or EAD approval
