iVolunteer is a social enterprise and our mission is to bring volunteers and organizations together to share their time, skills, and passion for promoting India's social development. We achieve this mission through an extensive network of volunteers, NGOs and Corporate organizations, a range of initiatives and presence with offices in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, and Hyderabad. Some of our initiatives include Impact projects, GYAN, Whiteboard, iVolunteer Awards, India Fellow etc About Daan Utsav DaanUtsav (formerly The Joy of Giving Week) is a 100% volunteer driven initiative, which encourages people to do any act of giving of their choice. There is no blueprint and the idea is to get everyone to participate and experience giving. Started in 2009, the festival is celebrated between Oct 2-8, across the country. As of 2015, over 1000+ cities and towns, several districts and villages all over India came forward and celebrated giving in their own way. This included auto drivers and maids donating food and grains, CEOs walking the ramp, being shadowed or singing to raise money, students across schools and colleges volunteering and giving, collection drives by many corporates; and several Govt depts. like the health, education, police and their associated bodies that have also participated.
