Another Challenge comes to an end!

After holding two challenges last year, we certainly thought twice before launching the India Tax Saving Challenge. But after seeing the great response that its gotten, we're really glad that we went ahead with it. Over Rs. 50 lacs was raised through 1,400+ donors in just 22 days! A big thank you to all donors for their support and congratulations to all NGOs who made this happen.

Parivaar Education Society, Operation Asha and New Life were the top 3 NGOs to raise the most funds. They received matching grants of Rs. 5 lacs, Rs. 3 lacs and Rs. 2 lacs respectively. They were followed by Society For Child Development, Society of Friends of the Sassoon Hospitals (SOFOSH), JK MAASS Foundation and Psycho Educational Society - all of whom received Rs. 1 lac each for their fundraising efforts.

Operation Asha, New Life and Parivaar Education Society also walked away with the prizes for the most number of unique donors.

The full list of winners of the challenge is available at http://www.giveindia.org/t-india-tax-saving-challenge-winners.aspx

In terms of overall numbers this is what was achieved:

112 iGive pages
97 NGOs

Rs. 50 lacs+ raised

and 18 NGOs have won matching grants amounting to Rs. 24,20,401!

Our sincere thanks to everyone who made this challenge a success.
