Give what’s needed. Know where it goes.
Fund the exact item on a real needlist — not a general pool. We buy and deliver it, then send you a photo proving it arrived.
Nothing to pay. We’re not taking donations yet, just your input.
- Specific items, not a pool
- Bought and delivered by us

Generous isn’t always the same as useful.
Donors are left guessing. There’s no easy way to know what’s actually needed right now.
Needs keep changing. What helped last month may not be what’s missing today.
Kind donations don’t always match. Well-meant items can arrive that nobody asked for.
Giving and need rarely connect. Once you give, there’s little to show where it went.
The number we want to change
14.9% of everyday household giving in India reaches non-religious organisations.

How it works
How GiveWithTrust will work
Every donation you make is tied to one specific item — chosen by you, delivered by us.
Step 1: Browse real needs, not categories.
NGOs list specific items — you see exactly what’s missing.
Step 2: You choose a need and fund it.
Your money pays for that item, not a general pool.
Step 3: Our team buys and delivers it.
We source the goods and ship them to the NGO.
Step 4: You get proof it arrived.
A photo of your item, confirmed by the NGO, shows up in your donation updates.
This is how we’re designing GiveWithTrust. It isn’t live yet, and details may change as we learn from donors and NGOs.

Help us understand how you give.
- How you give today
- What makes you hesitate before donating
- Whether choosing a specific item and seeing delivery proof matters to you
Help us understand what you need.
- Items you need and how many
- How often you need them
- Which category they fall under

Our approach
Why we’re building
GiveWithTrust
GiveWithTrust started with a simple question: when someone wants to help, how do they know what’s actually needed? Too often, giving is well meant but guessed. The wrong things arrive, and what an NGO really needs stays on its list.
We’re a small team in Pune building a better way. NGOs share exactly what they need, donors choose a specific item to fund, and every donation stays connected to the need it was meant for, right through to a photo of it being delivered.
Before we launch, we’re talking to donors and NGOs so that what we build fits how giving really works.
Need first.
We start from what NGOs ask for.
Visible by design.
Every donation stays connected to its need.
Built together.
Donors and NGOs shape the product before launch.
The people building it
