Givfunds’ journey began in 2018 when our founders, Irwan Malhotra and Edward Yee, crossed paths on an Indian sleeper train as part of Jagriti Yatra. During their travels, they visited many social enterprises and witnessed firsthand the struggles changemakers faced in accessing the capital needed to expand their impact and reach more lives.

​

Deeply inspired by the potential and dedication of these social entrepreneurs, Irwan and Edward were determined to address this critical gap. Fueled by their experiences and a shared passion for social innovation, they founded Givfunds. Their mission was clear: to connect visionary social enterprises with low-cost capital, fostering sustainable growth and driving transformational change. They aimed to build a bridge between impactful ideas and the financial support required to bring those ideas to life.

 

Since its inception, Givfunds has remained steadfast in its commitment to empowering social enterprises and individuals. Through innovative funding models, strategic partnerships, and social impact projects we have been able to create a ripple effect of positive change across.
