NF’s I-Get Involved program is an endeavor that makes it easy for individuals and corporates to carry forward their will to help the underserved in our society. The program intends to tap individuals’ passion, institutional CSR practices and every Indian’s resolve (hence the highlight on the ‘I’) to get involved and support NASSCOM Foundation and its activities. The I-Get Involved program not only aims to create a linkage to harness corporate resources and human capital for underserved communities but also to initiate alliances and encourage members to do more, capturing best practices and thus, promoting and assisting the replication of both good work and CSR  practices.

NASSCOM has over 1,200 member companies and the industry employs over two million people. With over 75% of its member base belonging to small and medium companies, NF endeavors to sensitize these companies to contribute in I-Get Involved program whichever way they can to the social issues in India. NF provides consulting support on how companies can set up either CSR departments or their own foundations. In addition, NF can recommend programs and projects that could be adopted by them.

NF, through the I-Get-Involved program, aims to create platforms for such collaborations. Employee Volunteering and Payroll Giving are two such initiatives. NF also encourages companies to consider employees for secondments to non-profits. This helps companies to offer alternatives to those employees who either want a break from their routine work for a short period of time, as well as build professional capacity of non-profits through such an exchange program.

Another initiative to involve employees is NF’s iTheatre which brings commercial theatre to the IT/ITES industry. NF plans to hold a series of plays and musicals programs either on the premises of the companies or at a nearby auditorium. This helps networking and socializing among employees and their respective HR departments, thereby building stronger inter-personal relationships.
