Together with our network of 3000+ trusted nonprofits, we have served 300+ partners to make their grantmaking 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 startups like Flipkart, Ola, Myntra and others – to drive corporate philanthropic giving in India. Through the India Covid Response Fund (ICRF), we partnered with various institutions globally to deploy INR 800+ crore of institutional grants (CSR, foundations & employee giving).

In Oct 2022, Give acquired the CSR business from Goodera and combined with its own institutional giving practice, launched Give Grants with a sharp focus on ‘making CSR giving better’ in India.

About the role

An important aspect of giving is the impact that it creates on ground - every donation small or large creates a significant impact in the lives of the people who we are serving. This impact needs to be assessed, tracked, and then communicated to different stakeholders through different channels and in different formats. The role requires the candidate to lead and deliver impact assessment projects for our CSR clients.
