The Karma Animal Foundation, established in September 2016, is dedicated to providing shelter and care for rescued animals, including over 82 dogs and feeding another 100 strays daily. Their focus includes neutering and spaying to reduce the population of stray puppies. However, the foundation faces significant financial strain, with monthly expenses exceeding INR 450K, particularly due to escalating medical bills. In November 2021 alone, medical costs surged to INR 245K, with similar projections for December and the following months. Currently, six dogs require extensive medical attention, ranging from liver issues to paralysis and kidney problems, resulting in daily medicine expenses exceeding INR 10K. The foundation urgently seeks support to sustain their crucial work in caring for these animals in need.

Every Infant Matters, founded by Dr. Radhika Batra, a renowned pediatrician and 2019 Forbes 30 under 30 Asia Honoree, strives to address the pressing issue of hunger and malnutrition exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among India's vulnerable populations. Operating in various states including Delhi, Maharashtra, U.P., and Orissa, the NGO has distributed essential supplies like masks, groceries, and sanitizers to over 30K individuals since February 2020. Now, in collaboration with Zomato Feeding India Initiative, Every Infant Matters launches the 'Million Meals' Project to provide 2,500 nutritious meals daily to those in need, especially unemployed workers. However, scaling up this initiative requires additional funding, including sponsorship for meal distribution costs and the procurement of a new van to expand operations.
