Mission Statement
ICON Charities is a mission driven volunteer run charity organization whose main goal is to aid the poorest of the poor to come out of the grips of generations of poverty and destitution by providing financial assistance for their education, shelter and humanitarian needs, by making use of freely available technology, and community relationships, which are also dedicated to ‘doing good’ for the less fortunate in the community. Our goal is to achieve our mission by investing in education of children from poor families, building small homes for those who can’t afford to do so by themselves, providing income-generating opportunities, and providing humanitarian assistance to families who are going through difficult situations of not their own making.
About This Cause
The main function of the organization is to undertake charitable projects sponsored by ICON members living in the United States or elsewhere. The organization is managed entirely by volunteers, with no paid staff or office locations. Though the operational focus areas are dictated by the interest of ICON group members, the primary areas of operation of the organization are in supporting the needs of the poor, primarily residing in Kerala who are seeking assistance to meet the costs of education, finding basic shelter, and or other human needs arising from unexpected natural calamities. ICON Charities may also occasionally offer similar assistance to needy individuals or groups residing elsewhere in India, when presented by ICON members for consideration by members of ICON Charities' Board of Directors. ICON Charities functions as a platform where values and aspirations of its caring and compassionate members are translated into tangible benefits for the poor and the needy in our society. It promotes simple acts of benevolence and random acts of kindness by its members and volunteers. ICON Charities enables an ordinary member of the community to become a philanthropist by providing a framework to invest one's time, talent, and money for the betterment of the community. It promotes volunteerism and demonstrates the joy of giving back to the society : as the noblest of civic duties we need to be engaged in. ICON Charities uses crowdfunding techniques to find the resources for the project it undertakes and thus being reactive to the situation. Crowdfunding is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people, typically via the Internet. ICON Charities publishes the needs to its online community and interested donors selectively participate in the causes they are also interested in supporting.
