Naveen Jain: Stepping up to the Plate
The philanthropic activities that Naveen Jain has taken up while heading Intelius are too numerous to even count individually.
In 2008, despite the economic crunch that has affected every business in various industries, Intelius and its co-founder still managed to consistently raise funds for the charities they supported. The charismatic Naveen Jain believes that because the country is facing a huge crisis and many Americans are in need, his company finds even more reasons to keep reaching out to the community. He further adds that his inspiration for his philanthropic missions are the tireless nonprofit groups that he works with. For this reason, he has made it his mission to instill in the company’s employees the importance of philanthropy even in times of economic difficulties.
In March of 2009, Naveen Jain, together with his wife Anu, were named Honorary Chairs at the annual “Step Up To The Plate Benefit Luncheon” by the Overlake Service League of Bellevue, Washington. The OSL is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping families within the Bellevue School District area. Intelius has been one of its major sponsors and they recognized this by conducting a banquet in honor of the company and its co-founder.
“Intelius and the Jains have taken a real leadership role in our community,” remarks Trish Carpenter, Director of Fundraising & Development for Overlake Service League. Carpenter continues by reiterating that the example set by Intelius and the Jains is something that other companies should follow. She also believes that OSL and Intelius are the ideal partners for community building.
Naveen Jain continuously steps up to donate and lend a helping hand to those who are in need. This hard working CEO is a living testament to the true essence of giving back even in times of difficulties.
