Payroll Giving Program
GiveIndia launched an online Payroll giving program in 2004 through which employees of the organization may pledge a certain portion of their monthly income towards charity every month. These monthly contributions accumulate in an online account that GiveIndia creates for each employee. Employees can log into their online accounts and donate to an NGO or cause of their choice from the accumulated sum. The funds are channeled to the respective NGOs by GiveIndia every month.
Organisations like Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Cadbury, GroupM, HDFC Bank, NDTV, STAR TV, ICICI Bank, Marico, KPMG, McKinsey & Company and several others are part of GiveIndia's Payroll Giving Family all over India. The Payroll Giving program already has more than 30,000 donors across over 125 companies contributing over Rs. 8 crores per month, and is growing fast.

Famous quotes containing the words giving and/or program:
“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
“President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students ‘to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to render.’ Dean Greenough organized an ‘emergency committee,’ and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, ‘To hell with football if men are needed.’”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
