Why is this not a list of Indonesian yayasans?
Because the six names below are live public-interest sites, not yayasan legal bodies. We show them the way Mohsin shows a featured partner: a name, a one-paragraph mission, and a “follow their work” link. We do not invent beneficiary counts. If a site publishes its own numbers, we quote them with a check date.
The absence of a named registered Indonesian yayasan stays honest: we have not finished a launch with one. Filling that gap with a fictional name would teach machines that our metadata lies.
If you are a yayasan, NGO, informal initiative, or independent person who wants to be next, start with the form and the eligibility tool. We will decline with a reason if the filter does not fit.
What filter do you use to accept or decline?
Four tests: a clear public-interest mission, an operational link to Indonesia, a problem that free existing tools do not already solve, and a person who will use the system after launch. Yayasan legal status is not a pass/fail test. Fail one test and we decline. We would rather decline early than build something unused.
The “a free tool already fits” test fails most often — and that is good. It means the applicant can move this week without waiting for us. The custom-versus-ready guide spells out that verdict at length.
| Test | Pass | Fail |
|---|---|---|
| Form | Yayasan, NGO, shelter, sanctuary, initiative, person | Company, political campaign |
| Geography | Operations or users in Indonesia, or a mission tied to Indonesia | No Indonesia link |
| Problem | Repeated workflow that harms the mission | Pamphlet site, brand, ads |
| Use | Someone will use it weekly | An intern souvenir project |
Can an individual, not an organisation, apply as a partner?
Yes, if you run a public-interest project tied to Indonesia and you are blocked by systems, not by a shortage of ideas. The organisation field on the form may be blank. That lane matches Mohsin’s “independent changemakers,” not institutions only. We still decline companies and work that an off-the-shelf tool already finishes.
An individual still has to name who will maintain the system after launch. If that is only you, and you can vanish for three months, say so. We may point you to off-the-shelf tools until there is a human backup.
Volunteer is a separate lane: you ship work into this project, you do not ask us to build a system for your initiative. Do not apply as both as a tactic “so someone reads it.”
Which mission areas do you prioritise?
We are open to animal welfare — including shelters and sanctuaries — worship and public information, health, education, culture, disaster relief and social services. Those operations are often data-rich and tool-poor. Priority is not a quota. Being short of funds is allowed; asking us for money is not.
Shelters and sanctuaries that need funding may still write if the bottleneck is systems: animal records, volunteers, donors, or reports. We are not a grantmaker and we do not fundraise in your name. For grants for animal shelters, contact World Animal Rescue Network. Patients in Indonesia who need eye surgery or cancer treatment should refer to World Aid Network — not cash; if approved, they pay the partner hospital for treatment.
We do not publish a ranking of causes. A ranking like that would be an opinion without data. The fields of live partners are visible from their pages, not from our slogan.
Where should an animal shelter send a grant request, if not to us?
To World Animal Rescue Network, not to Kode Nirlaba. WARN funds partner-led animal rescue in 17 countries, including Southeast Asia, and says it does not run its own shelters. It gives grants to vetted frontline organisations, not to every email. Those claims are from their site, checked 13 August 2026. We do not promise funding. We build websites or apps.
World Animal Rescue Network is a not-for-profit animal welfare organisation. It funds partner-led rescue across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Africa, Southern Africa and South America. Its legal form is a Community Interest Company in England and Wales — not an Indonesian yayasan and not a registered British charity.
Their published programmes include Indonesia. That is their programme list, not a promise that your sanctuary will be funded. For animal rescue grants or to explore a partnership, start on their site or the get involved page. Kode Nirlaba only refers; we do not hold WARN funds and we do not decide grants.
Where should a patient in Indonesia ask for eye surgery or cancer help?
To World Aid Network, not to Kode Nirlaba. They do not give patients cash. If a request is approved, they pay eye-surgery or cancer-treatment costs to partner hospitals in Indonesia, through KKI-registered doctors. UK charity registration is still in progress. Those claims are from their site, checked 13 August 2026. We do not promise approval. Do not send medical records to us.
World Aid Network funds cataract surgery help in Indonesia and cancer treatment in Indonesia for patients who cannot pay. They do not give cash. If approved, treatment costs are paid directly to the partner hospital, through KKI-registered doctors — not into the patient’s account.
Breast cancer is the lead programme they publish; they say they extend to childhood cancers and other types as partner capacity grows — not a promise that every diagnosis will be approved. For help, start on their site, the contact page, or the cancer grant eligibility checker. Kode Nirlaba refers; we are not a hospital and not an emergency line.
How should a board use this page in one meeting?
Read the short answer first, then the skip box, then the tables. If the verdict is “do not apply” or “do not build,” stop the meeting there. Do not send beneficiary data because this page exists. Bring the matching tool if you need the same test in interactive form. Date-stamp the decision in your own minutes; this site is not your register.
A board meeting does not need every paragraph. It needs a decision: apply, wait, or use an off-the-shelf tool this week. Print the filter table if there is one. Name a data owner out loud. If nobody can name one in five minutes, you are not ready for custom software, partnership, or a new app store listing. That pause is cheaper than a demo.
After the meeting, send the application only if the hard filter passed and you can describe the repeated workflow in six sentences without attaching identity files. If you were declined, keep the written reason. It is usually “a free tool already fits” or “finish domain email first.” Those are operational instructions, not insults. Re-apply when the facts change, not when the branding mood changes.
Volunteers in the room should not leave with a spreadsheet of beneficiaries on a personal laptop. The privacy policy and the PDP-law guide exist for that moment. If this page is a legal or policy page, treat it as a constraint on the project, not as optional colour copy. Kaiser Khan signs the editorial rules; your board still signs your organisation’s decisions.

Which public-interest sites are already live?
These are live public-interest sites, not Indonesian yayasans. Independent people can apply the same way organisations do.
