According to the official website, ConnectFor is a non-profit organisation that seeks to contribute to the developmental sector by facilitating engagement of the volunteering community, building capacity, and creating value added services for NGOs. Its mission is to provide comprehensive resource solutions for the social sector by creating symbiosis amongst NGOS, volunteers and corporates, and adding value and structure to these associations.
On The Krish Kothari Show, Shloka Mehta shared the fascinating story behind the inception of her NGO, ConnectFor. She recalled how the idea took shape during a casual game of cards, when a friend, newly returned from the US, sought her advice on finding meaningful volunteer opportunities before beginning a corporate job. Furthermore, the friend also expressed frustration about how difficult it was to connect with nonprofits, sparking the concept that would eventually become ConnectFor.
Having previously worked with the Rosy Blue Foundation, Mehta noticed that grants were often awarded to the same set of NGOs. She explained that this trend was partly driven by CSR regulations, which require organizations to provide audited financials and annual reports to demonstrate the impact of donated funds. “I felt there are so many talented people. If they can get connected to these nonprofits who don’t have the resources to hire someone to write reports or audit them, it would work out so well,” Shloka Mehta was quoted as saying by Economic Times.
Shloka Mehta also shared an inspiring anecdote that underscored the real-world impact of ConnectFor. Reflecting on the early days of the initiative, she recalled receiving a call from a woman eager to volunteer. During their conversation, Mehta informed her that she would be connected with a children’s shelter home—an opportunity that marked the beginning of a meaningful engagement for the volunteer.
The woman expressed her commitment to volunteer three times a week. A year later, Mehta received a heartfelt email from her, revealing the deeply personal reason behind her decision to reach out. The woman shared that she had recently lost her husband to cancer and was struggling to cope with the grief. The woman wrote,” I was really clueless about what to do to fill my time.”
