Greetings,
We just got back from COP26 with tons of learnings, reflections and insights. Throughout the conference, the urgency of action against climate change couldn’t have been emphasized enough. We feel a renewed sense of responsibility to contribute to this collective global action with our efforts at Maanch.

Accelerating Philanthropic Impact through the Maanch Giving Tool
At Maanch, we are delighted to announce the release of our new Funder Questionnaire! After months of research on understanding behavioural motivations behind giving, this new feature will allow us to identify what type of funder you are, what drives you to donate, and then match you with the most suitable projects and causes for you to support. It will take under 10 minutes to complete…let us know what you think!

These funds will support developing countries cut their carbon emissions and minimise the impact of climate change.

A Total Impact approach to Purpose & Performance
