However, identifying the organisations needing in-kind donations has been time-consuming and frustrating for the donors, in the absence of a comprehensive database.
We also urge budding social entrepreneurs to promote donations-in-kind in their cities and towns, followed by collection and distribution of used and new products. Thereafter, they may inform us to feature their activity on our portal so that donors in their city can also avail their service. Likewise, we welcome seekers of donations in kind to inform us about their requirements, so that this platform can bring their needs to the attention of our audience of do-gooders.
In order to maintain our non-commercial nature, we have refrained from carrying any advertisements on the portal. We have no monetary transactions with NGOs or donors. Our sole aim is to connect people to causes that matter! This has prompted us to launch this portal as well as three other portals: CancerAssist.in covers assistance for cancer patients in India, CancerScreening.in promotes screening and detection of cancer and CPRsavesLIFE.in is a campaign to save lives of Sudden Cardiac Arrest victims, through CPR and AED.
