In this episode, we are joined by Chet Jainn, the founder of Crowdera, who shares his insights on the differences between charity and philanthropy. Chet explains how charity is a reactive response to immediate needs, while philanthropy aims to create long-term solutions for systemic issues. He stresses the importance of understanding this distinction for effective fundraising.
Chet also highlights the current state of NGOs in India, revealing that, despite 3.3 million charities, only a small fraction are visible and digitally accessible. He advocates for digital financial inclusion to empower small and medium charities, emphasizing the need for a robust online presence.
Reflecting on Crowdera’s ten-year journey, Chet introduces the “Decade of Impact” initiative, which aims to celebrate and amplify the contributions of selected charities. Additionally, he discusses the “Living My Promise” foundation, encouraging individuals to pledge a portion of their wealth to charitable causes.
For anyone starting their journey in entrepreneurship or philanthropy, Chet emphasizes the significance of intention and impact, inspiring listeners to begin making a difference today.
