Charity Events
GiveIndia has been selective in identifying events to raise funds for charity. The traditional model of organising events results in more than 80 per cent of the resources raised being spent on the event itself. So by "piggy backing" existing events that are already planned, GiveIndia ensures that the cost of fundraising is less than 10%, to contribute more towards a cause. Some of the events that GiveIndia conducts are:
- Twestival (See)
- India Tax Saving Challenge (See)
- India Giving Challenge (See)

Famous quotes containing the words charity and/or events:
“Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.”
—Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in 1 Corinthians, 8:1-2.
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
