Every indian volunteering

#EveryIndianVolunteering is an effort by IWT to engage Indians in volunteering for various causes. Our goal is to see every Indian eventually volunteer for at least 52 hours a year (1 hour a week on average). As part of the effort, we

• Build and engage the ecosystem of organisations engaged in volunteering at scale in India- cutting across nonprofits, civic and citizenship networks, corporates, communities, educational institutions, govt bodies, religious and spiritual organisations, volunteering intermediaries and informal groups. 
• Help organizations think through and figure out how to recruit volunteers at scale (>500 volunteers each).
• Design and test pilots in partnership with various organisations, research, learn and share learnings with the ecosystem.
• Convene interactions and curate learning opportunities for the volunteering ecosystem players. 
• Where relevant, provide funding to help scale up volunteering work significantly.

• We've worked closely with Internshala.com to create a volunteering section on their site. The initiative currently clocks 10,000+ volunteering hours every month since inception in Jan 2021.
• We helped iVolunteer and Bhumi organize Volcon 2020, a volunteering conference.
• We've provided financial support to cover "overheads" of Team Everest and Volunteer For India to help them scale up their volunteering,
• We've provided a small experimentation grant to ChangeBhumi to test out different experiments to promote volunteering. 
• We've just launched India's first Volunteering Incubator- www.eivolve.in

We're eager to see how we can help organisations scale up their volunteering. Reach out to us at dharmaraj.iwt at gmail dot com, if you are
