"It is every man's obligation to put back into the world at least the equivalent of what he takes out of it.“

“The value of a man resides in what he gives and not in what he is capable of receiving.”

- Albert Einstein

"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."

- Winston Churchill

Joy of Giving

Joy Of Giving Foundation

• The Joy of Giving Foundation provide care and support for people who need a little help to reach their greatest potential.

• Unfortunately, these organizations whose gifts lift up children, young adults, and others in need are distracted from the greatest use of their gifts by the practical necessity of raising funds to support their services.

• The Joy of Giving Foundation provides the connections between Givers and those in need of support.

• Although it is important that Givers do their own due-diligence before sending money, the Joy of Giving Foundation works to investigate, advise, and support people and organizations whom we believe provide very special services.

Joy Of Giving week

• Conceptualized by GiveIndia, this unique and ambitious initiative aims to get people from all walks of life together to engage in acts of giving- money, time, skills or simple acts of kindness.

Speech By Different People• “We are excited at the phenomenal response we have got to

this idea, from the time we started working on it. Within 3 months, several NGOs, celebrities, corporates and individuals have come forward and promised to celebrate the Joy of Giving during this Week. Volunteer groups in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai and Bangalore have started planning various initiatives in these cities. We are flooded with generous offers of free advertising and promotion, website programming and marketing, from giant corporations as well as individuals and small companies. Overall, we can sense that India is ready for an idea like this.”

- Venkat Krishnan N, Director, GiveIndia

• “We are all committed to making this Week a big success and move towards rekindling the great spirit of giving that used to be embedded in our culture. I call upon companies, schools, colleges, celebrities and the aam junta to join in the Joy of Giving Week and make it a success for India.”

- Amit Chandra, MD of Bain Capital

• “The Joy of Giving Week is not just a token gesture, but a celebration of the goodness that each one of us has, and I am sure it will soon become a movement. It is time that we have unifying events that bring together people of different backgrounds, regions, classes where the only identity that matters is that of a human being. I am part of it because I know it will help me become a better person.”

- Nandita Das Noted actor and director

• “The Joy of Giving Week is an idea whose time has come. The 21st century belongs to us Indians and we can take our rightful place among global superpowers if we all join together and give to create opportunities for the less fortunate.”

-Imtiaz Ali,Director of Jab We Met
