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)
“I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together. It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time. It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
