About the company
We are a not-for-profit organisation working towards helping people donate to committed Indian
nonprofits, at 0% cost. Working with the vision of ‘Simple Social Giving’, LetzChange believes in
amplifying impact by leveraging donor's social network for the causes they believe in and supporting
the charities to raise money, using our simple online fundraising tools.
Donors have access to a credible platform hosting 200+ Indian nonprofits, on-boarded after thorough
verification and due diligence, serving various causes like education, childcare, women empowerment,
skill development, animal welfare, healthcare etc.
Many of our NGO partners are located in the interiors and while they might be doing a great job, serving
their beneficiaries, their stories need to be told to the world at large. Those who have the capacity to
contribute however are mostly urban dwellers and a larger part of their day is spent online. Hence, we
have the challenge to bridge this gap and create intriguing content that would motivate people to raise
funds for the above mentioned.
The idea, therefore, is to use our various social media pages: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to
convey stories of committed nonprofits to people. While a donor might not understand the importance of
the tools we provide at face value, understanding how we fit in the big picture is likely to help us gain
supporters who want to bring a positive change in this world.
