Donate Online at www.GiveIndia.org Quotes “ The India Giving Challenge gave a wonderful opportunity for all our supporters and campaigner -volunteers to use the period and platform of the event for further expansion of the support base, and also test the reach and efficacy of their social networks. It was a fun-filled time and a great experience for everyone.” - Vinayak Lohani, Founder, Parivaar “ We thank GiveIndia for giving us the opportunity to participate in the India Giving Challenge and also coming up with this kind of initiative. It is really helpful to help people in need.” - Sridevi Potu, President, Sveccha Foundation "The challenge gave us an impetus to reach new sources. Surprisingly we found the Joy of Giving was more explicit amongst small donors who appreciated the cause and not the benefit of tax relief. We are reassured that good causes get good support." - Mr. Ranganathan , Founder, Vidyarambam
