\u201cEverybody has kindness in them. There just has to be a medium for people to find those in need.\u201d, says Raghav, founder of iGiver.<\/p>\n

And for the last one and half years, that\u2019s exactly what iGiver has been working on successfully \u2014 connecting kind-hearted people to those in need. Using technology for the greater good of humanity, iGiver is on a journey to spread the joy of giving.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s spotlight story, we cover the story of iGiver and how they are revolutionising donations by taking it digital, helping thousands of people in need.<\/p>\n

Digitalising donations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Raghav, a IT company owner, pioneered a new model and found an innovative way to collect and disburse donations.<\/p>\n

iGiver<\/a><\/span> was founded in 2019, just before the pandemic hit. He was inspired in helping people in need and wanted to do more. Raghav identified a problem in the NGO space \u2014 donating was a long and complex process, and there was not much transparency.<\/p>\n

Local NGOs and old age homes struggle to find money to make ends meet, and people who wish to give find it difficult to donate. Raghav wanted to bridge this gap, to make the process a lot smoother and effective.<\/p>\n

iGiver<\/a><\/span> was founded with the aim of helping NGOs get resources for their daily needs more easily. Raghav created a website, where donors can easily donate to them. But unlike other platforms, you’re not just donating money. You can select what kind of items you want to buy for them with the money. You can buy grocery, books, stationery, or even softwares for those in need.<\/p>\n

This revolutionary approach to giving donations to non-profits made the process easier, transparent, and more delightful. So far, close to thousand have donated via iGiver and thousands of people in need have benefitted of donations worth INR 1 million.<\/p>\n

Creating a new model for donations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There are many cash-based donations platforms in India. But there are few that connect local NGOs, old age homes, and other shelters. “We wanted to bring a system that benefits these under-rated organisations”, says Raghav. On the search for an alternative, iGiver wanted to connect kind-hearted people with the needy in a better way.<\/p>\n

For this, iGiver partnered with retailers so that donors can choose what they want to donate. “By this model, you just don’t donate money, you can choose what you want the NGOs get with that sum. It can be groceries, books, or any other items”, says Raghav. So, iGiver made the process of donating more personal and thus more joyful.<\/p>\n

Some of their retail partners include Organic farmer’s market, Amar Chithra Katha, Balaji Enterprises, and Pratham Books, amongst others.<\/p>\n
