Give – India’s Most Trusted Giving Platform
This is where Give comes in. As India’s largest and most trusted giving platform, Give was established to bridge the gap between donors and nonprofits, ensuring that contributions are effectively utilized to bring tangible social change.
For over 22 years, Give has built a strong, technology-driven platform that connects individual donors, corporates, and philanthropic institutions with 3,000+ verified nonprofits. These nonprofits support a wide range of causes, from education, healthcare, rural development, and women’s empowerment to disaster relief and animal welfare.
With a community of over 2.7 million individual donors and 300+ organizations, Give has facilitated donations that have impacted more than 15 million lives across India. The organization focuses on transparency and accountability, ensuring that every rupee donated is used effectively for the intended purpose.
How Give Enables Giving
Give has introduced a variety of giving models to make philanthropy accessible to all segments of society. Some of the key initiatives include:
- Crowdfunding: Individuals can raise funds for personal and social causes, helping communities in need.
- Corporate Giving: Businesses can implement Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives through Give’s end-to-end grant management solutions.
- Payroll Giving: Employees can contribute a portion of their salary to social causes, encouraging workplace philanthropy.
- Giving Pledges: High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) can pledge a part of their wealth towards philanthropic efforts.
- Disaster Relief Funds: Rapid fundraising and distribution of aid to communities affected by natural disasters, pandemics, and emergencies.
Commitment to a Poverty-Free India
Give's goal is to make giving bigger and better, thereby leading to seeing an India without poverty. In fact, this organization believes that the nation is full of riches and opportunities. It believes if the donations collected are managed wisely, no citizen needs to survive below the poverty line.
For this, Give continues to invest in innovative giving solutions, makes donations more transparent, and enhances its network of social impact organizations.
Give Acquires Goodera’s CSR Management Business
In a significant step towards scaling corporate giving, Give has acquired Goodera’s India CSR grant management business. This strategic acquisition will empower companies to maximize their CSR contributions, ensuring their funds are directed towards high-impact social programs.
Why CSR Matters in India
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) represents a large pool of philanthropic capital in India. Since the introduction of the Companies Act, 2013, businesses earning above a certain threshold are required to allocate 2% of their average net profits towards CSR initiatives. This has resulted in billions of rupees being invested annually in social welfare programs.
However, efficient management, impact measurement, and accountability have been major challenges for companies handling CSR funds. Many corporations struggle with ensuring that their contributions lead to measurable and sustainable impact.
With this acquisition, Give aims to provide corporates with advanced tools and expertise to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their CSR programs.
Goodera: A Leader in CSR Management
Founded in 2014, Goodera is a globally recognized leader in CSR, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) solutions, and corporate volunteering. The company has developed a robust platform that helps businesses track, measure, and manage their CSR initiatives.
Goodera’s platform enables corporations to:
- Identify high-impact social projects
- Monitor fund utilization in real-time
- Measure and report social impact
- Ensure compliance with CSR regulations
By acquiring Goodera’s CSR grant management business, Give has expanded its ability to offer seamless CSR management solutions to corporations, enabling them to make a greater difference in the communities they serve.
What the Acquisition Means for CSR in India
This acquisition strengthens Give’s CSR operations by integrating:
- A 73-member team of experts in CSR strategy and execution
- 50 corporate clients who have been managing their CSR initiatives through Goodera
- Goodera’s CSR technology platform, which provides enhanced tracking and impact measurement
By combining Give’s deep experience in the development sector with Goodera’s expertise in CSR technology, the acquisition aims to bridge the gap between corporates and social impact organizations, ensuring that CSR funds reach the right causes efficiently.
