Binance has committed $150,000 to flood relief efforts across nine Indian states through a partnership with disaster response NGO Goonj, the exchange announced October 6.
The funds will provide emergency supplies including food, clean water, hygiene kits, and temporary shelter materials to communities affected by severe monsoon flooding in Uttarakhand, Punjab, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. The 2025 monsoon season has displaced thousands of families according to India’s National Disaster Management Authority.
The Binance Charity Pledge partners with Goonj, a leading Indian NGO founded by Anshu Gupta, known for its community-based disaster response. Gupta described the flooding as catastrophic and emphasized the need for cross-sector collaboration.
Beyond immediate aid, the Binance Charity Pledge aligns with Binance’s vision of “Web3 for Social Good,” integrating technology into humanitarian work.
“We believe technology should serve people,” Manupati added. “The Binance Charity Pledge demonstrates how innovation can drive accountability in global relief.”
As India begins rebuilding after weeks of heavy rains, the Binance Charity Pledge represents more than financial assistance, it is a model for transparent, sustainable disaster recovery. By combining digital innovation with grassroots expertise, Binance and Goonj are setting a precedent for tech-driven compassion in crisis response.
