There are multiple challenges when it comes to designing and implementing CSR projects,be it identifying an appropriate and credible non-governmental organisation (NGO) or community cause, or implementing the initiatives involved, and evaluating the impact and outcomes.
This is where technology comes to the rescue. In the last decade or so, many online platforms have sprung up to help corporates strategise, implement, and track their CSR projects through data-driven intelligence and interventions. Some of the eminent ones are Samhita GoodCSR, SociallyGood, and Goodera.
These three platforms together have a database of 5,268 NGOs, and have helped pool in funds to the tune of Rs 2,550 crore since 2016. They are spread across diverse social welfare projects – from providing education to the underprivileged, to enabling access to drinking water for people in rural areas.
