What Can You Do to help scale up Daan Utsav in 2018?

Fill in this form based on what you reasonably think you can do.... There's a list of ideas below, and for each idea, there's an opportunity for you to share how YOU can contribute. You can either offer to DRIVE an idea in your location/state or nationally, or to SUPPORT it by mentioning specific things you can do (e.g., meet X # of schools/corporates/NGOs, etc. or run a specific initiative or simply connect volunteers to influential people). It is not necessary to do something for every idea- just pick the ones where you think you can contribute. Do be realistic- don't overcommit and under-deliver. Keep in mind that you have only 24 hours a day and will have to do this along with everything else that you have to do :-)! So calculate approximately how much time it will take to do what you are planning to commit to, and be sure you can afford to spend that much time :-)! For example, "driving" an idea nationally might require at least 12 hours a week of your time, willingness to go out and meet people, 12x7 availability on email or phone/whatsapp/FBM so that you can respond to people quickly. This may be tough to do if you have a full time 9-5 job! However, you can simply come up with stuff that will require just a few hours a week of your time as well- based on what works best for YOU. There is no judgement, and there is no pressure to commit too much. This exercise is just to get an idea of what we all can accomplish together and who can contribute where, so that we can co-ordinate better among all volunteers!

We need someone who can drive this nationally and volunteers who can locally connect with senior marketing/ sales and CEO level people at- Banks Wallets ecommerce cos, Retail, Telcos, Petrol (IOC, BP, HP), FMCG companies, Airlines, Airports, Metros, others with large customer bases Reach out to Corporates for employee participation Corporates have hundreds and thousands of employees and can engage them in giving, volunteering and collection activities either through CSR or HR. Help is needed to reach corporates, organise workshops, share ideas, help them implement their events, help them connect to NGOs, etc. Engage Government Easily the entity with the max public reach is Govt (e.g, DMRC is used by 50 lac Delhi-ites every week, Mumbai trains by 40 lac, etc., Govt schools cover 18 CRORE children, etc…). While Aarti will naturally do a lot on this, champions are needed to- Connect with various ministries in Central & State Govt and see how they can reach out to large # of peopleGet all CMs to endorse #DaanUtsavConnect via Doordarshan & AIR and reach their audiencesTie up with Govt entities for specific campaigns, e.g., NACO Oct 1-8 Blood donation campaign (Oct 1 = nat blood don day in India) Engage NGOs NGOs can not only be the biggest beneficiaries of #DU & #GTI but can also reach their beneficiary communities and create givers out of them, besides creating large scale community events as we have seen.Would be great to have someone drive this nationally and help is also required to reach out to-Large NGOs with beneficiary reach to see how they can engage their beneficiaries in giving (Aarti is interested in this)Large NGOs with significant reach who can use #DaanUtsav to raise resources for their work by tapping into large donor poolsGet a large # of NGOs to participate in various ways, Explore running specific campaigns with NGOs, e.g., Oct 2 with all Gandhian, Ahimsa driven orgs, Oct 1 can see a campaign with World Elders Day stretching thru Oct 8, etc. Engage Associations, Clubs and Groups Networks and Associations/ Clubs have significant reach and can help spread #DaanUtsav. Would be great to have someone drive this nationally and help is also needed across India to- Tap CII, NASSCOM, FICCI, local Chambers of Commerce, Tap Rotary, Lions, Rotaract, AIESEC,Tap Religious/Social Associations, Tap hobby groups like laughter clubs, trekking and running clubs, bikers' clubs, etc. Engage Media- print, tv, radio, digital, regional Media obviously has the biggest reach, if one looks at ALL kinds of media- digital, print, radio, regional, outdoor, etc. Would be great if we can find a champion with strong networks in media across India (Venkat is willing to help this person), and help will also be needed to-Meet owners of media houses, get them to design their own eventsTap into all major Digital platformsGet Relevant audience interviews done (champions/ambassadors)Reach REGIONAL language mediaTap periodicals (magazines, etc.) Create and drive a lot of action on Social media like WhatsApp, FB, Insta, Twitter Engage Foundations & Philanthropists Foundations & Philanthropists are often keen to build sustainability in the social sector and hence can be great sources to offer Matching donations to NGOs that raise money during #DaanUtsav and #GivingTuesdayIndia. Reaching out to them to explore offering matching at large or to their own grantees can help create a larger footprint and significant motivation to crowdfunding platforms. Corporates doing CSR can also do this. Need someone to drive this initiative nationally and people who can help reach out to- Gates Foundation ($1m match)Ford FoundationOmidyar NetworkTata Trusts ($5m match to grantees)Dell FoundationFacebookGoogleAPPI/NilekanisCSR Foundations Large scale Campaigns Campaigns can help create a lot of reach and brand awareness for DU, will also making it very easy for people to give. Would be great to have someone drive this overall nationally and help with initiatives like- - Google doodle- FB frame promoted by FB- DaanUtsav Bus in 30 cities- 1 simple act of giving (e.g., donate a fistful of rice) driven across India- getting #DU and #GTI into all calendars including govt, colleges, schools, diaries- crowdfunding campaigns & challenges #GivingTuesdayIndia specific promotions While a lot of events can happen across both #GTI and #DU together, there's an opportunity to leverage #GIvingTuesdayIndia (GTI) international equity to get participation from Global corporations in India that participate in GTI elsewhere. While Pushpa will champion this, help is needed to- - Identify IACC members, US companies & connect- connect with entities that have global #GT relationships Help built a team of 100 Full Time People Imagine if there were 100 people across India, working FULL TIME to evangelise #DU, their only goal being to maximise the reach and get every Indian to celebrate. The bandwidth created, ability to follow up and get many of the things in this list itself would be greatly enhanced. Rajan is going to try and see if we can get 25 such people this year, but help is needed to-- Create a model that will find sponsors willing to fund this and managers who will supervise OR organisations that will dedicate 1 person each for this- a model to find 25 highly motivated and capable people who can do this- EXECUTE on the model, i.e., sell the idea to potential orgs, funders, etc. Help increase Geographic Coverage Reaching every part of India is important and while we try to scale in different ways, it is important to ensure that in each city, state and region that we are present, we are able to penetrate deeper by covering more corporates, schools, colleges, apartments, NGOs, government, etc. Volunteers are needed who can-- Co-ordinate, anchor and champion efforts for a city/state/region and/or a vertical within the same- Find, orient and engage volunteers (Aarti has offered to find, Rajan has offered to travel and cover at least 7-8 new locations)- Connect the city to the national group- Have an anchor NGO/org/volunteer in each of the 716 districts Other ideas Some other ideas have been suggested that can have significant impact in scaling #DU & #GTI. Would be great to have people willing to drive some of these-Theme for each day of the Week, Enroll 1000 individual fundraisers, Overseas friends of DU/ pick one country a year like the Festival of India series, DaanUtsav postage stamp, creating a #DaanUtsav Mascot, Get tata docomo/wifi hotspots to put DU messages during week, Using community radio to create reach, Photo/video contest, art like DU wall in each city, engage sand artists like Sudarshan Pattnaik, Manas Sahoo, Breaking some world record. You can either suggest a new idea (only if you are willing to drive it) or offer to help with one of these ideas. Any other remarks or comments Never submit passwords through Google Forms.
