Our mission is to promote an efficient and effective giving culture that provides greater opportunities to the poor in India. Everything we do is designed to improve the day to day experience of children in care and their future lives A strong "giving"​ culture where Indians donate 2% of their income every year to give the poor a chance. A vibrant "philanthropy marketplace"​ to ensure that the most efficient and effective nonprofits get access to the most resources. The need for a "giving culture"​ Underlying everything Give India does is the belief that equity or "equal opportunity"​ is the cornerstone to civilization. Every human being must have roughly the same opportunity to succeed in life, irrespective of where or how s/he is born. Unfortunately, this tends to not be true. The last two decades have witnessed a widening of the gap between the rich and poor in India. While the poor in India don't get a fair chance to succeed in life (lack of access to decent education, healthcare and livelihood opportunities), the well-off continue to enjoy benefits from a globalizing economy- greater incomes, reducing taxes, 100% inheritance, etc. The net result is a ticking time-bomb of growing social unrest. We believes that a caring and sensitive well-to-do section can change this without waiting for the situation to explode. To quote Prof William Sundstrom, "​?although the pursuit of distributive justice is often thought to require a political or collective response, we should not allow this to let us off the hook when it comes to personal morality. Each of us could probably afford to give much more to private, charitable efforts to alleviate poverty and suffering. Indeed, given the failure of our political leaders to provide anywhere near an adequate response, private action has become indispensable."​
