Retail Giving
GiveIndia pioneered online donations in India in the year 2000 and was one of the first worldwide. GiveIndia has channeled over Rs 6 crores to various non-profit organizations through the Internet. GiveIndia’s site is designed as a "Philanthropy Exchange" that allows donors to donate directly to any of the "listed" non-profit organizations. So, GiveIndia is essentially a fund raising organization committed to make online donations effective. GiveIndia offers its donors the 3 C's:
- Choice of the cause / organization / project they would like to support.
- Convenience of donating online, in just a few clicks.
- Confidence that their donation is used for the chosen purpose
Donors can also gift their charity donations by dedicating the donations made to people close to them.(See)

Famous quotes containing the words retail and/or giving:
“A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on moods: specifically, the mood of the men in the pinstripes, also known as the Boys on the Street. When the Boys are in a good mood, the market thrives; when they get scared or sullen, it is time for each one of us to look into the retail apple business.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“One cannot be a good historian of the outward, visible world without giving some thought to the hidden, private life of ordinary people; and on the other hand one cannot be a good historian of this inner life without taking into account outward events where these are relevant. They are two orders of fact which reflect each other, which are always linked and which sometimes provoke each other.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
