Give Grants enables corporates, foundations and HNIs to deliver maximum social impact. Amplified by technology and anchored in impact, we support the entire grant-making life cycle. Together with our network of 3000+ trusted nonprofits, we have served 300+ partners to make their grant-making journey convenient, compliant and the most impactful it can be.

Over the last 20 years, Give has partnered with hundreds of companies - from large ones like ICICI, HDFC, TCS, Google, Microsoft, Amex, KPMG, Coca-Cola to new age start-ups like Flipkart, Ola, Myntra and others - to shape the employee giving narrative across India. When COVID hit India, we launched the India COVID Response Fund (ICRF) and partnered with various institutions globally to deploy over 800 Crores of Institutional Giving (CSR, Foundation Grants & Employee Giving). In Oct 2022 Give acquired the CSR business of Goodera and created Give|Grants to sharply focus on 'making CSR giving better' in India.

Give|Grants is now an end to end giving partner for institutions spanning strategy, design, deployment, compliance and impact assurance.
