DonateKart was started with a vision to ensure transparency in charities and motivate more individuals to give back to society. Transparency is a huge issue in the Indian Philanthropic space and to build confidence in Donors, DonateKart works on a unique model where Donors can pay for the supplies needed to a charity that gets delivered to NGOs' doorstep. As Donors are giving products instead of money, there is 100 per cent transparency and Donors even get updates on how their donated supplies are being used.
DonateKart is working with over 1000+ NGOs and 500,000+ Donors have used our platform to donate in excess of 75 Crore worth of products.
