About KindredGiving
Simplified donation tracking for nonprofits and community organizations. Our platform makes it easy for donors to let organizations know exactly what they're bringing—whether it's food, clothing, books, or other in-kind items—before they arrive. Organizations can track commitments, record in-person donations in seconds, and view clear monthly totals without spreadsheets or manual guesswork. Everything stays organized in one place, so nonprofits spend less time managing donations and more time making an impact.
About the Founder
Hi! I'm Sudharshini Ram, founder of KindredGiving, and I believe that access to essential resources is a matter of dignity—not luck.
My journey began through community initiatives, where I organized donation drives that collected thousands of in-kind items, including hygiene products, food, clothing, and school supplies, for local nonprofits and shelters. Through this work, I saw firsthand how generous communities can be—yet I also noticed a major gap.
Nonprofits often didn't know what donations were coming, how much to expect, or how to track items once they arrived. Donors wanted to help, organizations needed support—but coordination was inefficient and time-consuming.
I created KindredGiving to solve this problem. The platform acts as a bridge between donors and organizations, making in-kind donations easier to plan, track, and manage. By simplifying the logistics, nonprofits can spend less time counting boxes and more time making an impact.
