ABOUT US
We are a non-profit for non-profits
A number of non-profits /charities have come forward to reduce the burden of social problems, ranging from healthcare to animal welfare. Their remarkable work has been transforming lives for ages. However, for their work to accelerate and reach every hand that needs aid, there is a need to balance the proportion of help needed and the amount of funds required. We took this issue home long ago, and now we bring to you NEEDBOX, a platform that connects credible non-profits /charities with you as donors and ensures that your donations reach the desired cause.

OUR FOUNDER
Kinjal Shethia
Kinjal is an ardent believer in co-existence. With a Ph.D. in banking and finance and several prestigious associations, one of them being Harvard School of Dental Medicine, she carries a diverse portfolio. Nevertheless, she has constantly volunteered in organizations dedicated to animal welfare, the environment, healthcare, and several others.
Persistent involvement in fieldwork related to such causes exposed her to the disparities involved in the governance of these establishments. Giving the best shot with minimal resources, sheltering beyond capacity, and aiding without financial backups were some of the issues that struck her.
Soon, she realized that each one of us has multiple roles by which we can reduce these gaps between caring and suffering. NEEDBOX is her project to bring in every individual that wishes to lend a hand. She visions to empower the culture of donating and aims to create a tradition of supporting charities and non-profits that work relentlessly to aid the ones in the dark.
OUR TEAM
Leading the team
A step becomes a run when walked together by many. On our way, we found people with similar experiences, and from them came the motivation to create a space that lends hope.
