Naveen Jain: Making Philanthropy a Company Effort
Naveen Jain extends his philanthropic efforts further. As CEO of Intelius, a leading Internet information company which enables consumers to access public information to secure their personal or business affairs, he measures its success by its ability to make a relevant impact on the lives of people. The company develops technology so that consumers may connect and reconnect with their loved ones and — through its identity check services — feel secure.
Since the founding of Intelius in 2003, Naveen Jain’s leadership has transformed it into one of the most dynamic companies, continuously striving to measure up to the demands of this increasingly interconnected world. Guided by its core values, Intelius has not only become a renowned info-commerce company, but also a company with a strong spirit of philanthropy as well.
Naveen Jain has emphasized on the need for philanthropy to become a company effort. In recognition of this effort, the Puget Sound Business Journal has named the company among the top 25 corporate philanthropists in the Puget Sound region.
During the past two years, the company has funneled substantial amounts into charitable causes. Its employees have rendered hundreds of volunteer hours to organizations supporting education, basic needs and healthcare, self-sufficiency, youth and family development. Included among the non-profit organizations supported by Intelius are United Way and Hopelink, focusing on hunger mitigation and self-sufficiency, and the Children’s Hospital, helping to grant disadvantaged children equal access to healthcare. It also sponsors the education of a number of undergraduates in business and computer science at the University of Washington through an endowment fund.
Naveen Jain believes that a business should not aim exclusively on reaping financial triumphs, but must see to it that it makes an immediate impact on the lives of community members. He says that nothing is more rewarding than to be acknowledged for supporting philanthropic efforts.
