Are you ready to fundraise during India’s biggest festival of giving? Register now for our GivingTuesdayIndia workshop.

GuideStar India is pleased to launch the third edition of #GivingTuesdayIndia, a #DaanUtsav celebration. 

#GivingTuesday was started in the US in 2012 to help people show their generosity after the excesses of spending on oneself during #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday. It has emerged as a strong global giving movement with leaders in 60+ countries. As a global leader of the movement, GuideStar India promotes the celebration of #GivingTuesdayIndia on the Tuesday of #DaanUtsav, India’s biggest festival of giving. 

After raising over Rs10 Crore in the first two years, #GivingTuesdayIndia is aiming high with collaborators comprising giving platforms, e-commerce platforms, payment platforms and corporates, who are creating fantastic opportunities for their consumers, employees and associates to experience the joy in giving to trusted causes. 

#GivingTuesdayIndia helps millions of everyday givers see how their individual contributions add up to make a big impact when they all give at the same time!

For NGOs, it is the best time to reach out to existing donors and help them leverage their giving through matching donations and prizes. It is also a great time to reach out to new circles of givers through innovative campaigns, engaging volunteers and champions who support their cause.

We expect #GivingTuesdayIndia to significantly lift everyday giving year on year!

To learn how your organisation could tell its compelling story and raise funds, sign up NOW for the free workshop at your nearest location.
