Charity

LendingCon was proud to announce two charitable organizations to donate to this year:

Boys : Girls Club of America, 2024

1) LendingCon is proud to announce our charitable donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Central Florida, supporting their mission of empowering young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring, and responsible citizens. Through mentorship, education, and community engagement, the Boys and Girls Club provides a safe and supportive environment for children to thrive. We stand with them in their commitment to shaping a brighter future for our youth.

US Hunger (IACC), 2024

2) LendingCon is honored to make a charitable donation to the Indian American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) of Orlando in partnership with US Hunger, in commemoration of Gandhi Day. Gandhi once said, “It’s the action, not the fruit of the action, that’s important. You have to do the right thing. It may not be in your power, may not be in your time, that there’ll be any fruit. But that doesn’t mean you stop doing the right thing.” With this simple mindset of performing action however small or large and not wanting anything in return the Indian American Chamber of Commerce hosts our Annual Gandhi Day of Service in partnership with US Hunger. During this event they bring the entire community together to help pack meals for the underprivileged locally in Central Florida and around the World. Join us in celebrating the spirit of unity and service on this special day by feeding over 250,000 meals.

Isha Foundation, 2023

LendingCon 2023 was proud to support the Isha Foundation- Conscious Planet movement and donated $5,001.00 in its honor. The Conscious Planet movement is an effort to raise human consciousness and bring a sense of inclusiveness such that multifarious activities of our societies move into a conscious mode. An effort to align human activity to be supportive of nature and all life on our planet. In this inclusive undertaking of the Save Soil Movement, governments, UN agencies, global leaders, organizations, eminent members of the environmental and scientific community, corporate and individual citizens are uniting behind a common purpose to address the alarming crisis of Soil Extinction. For our children and future generations, it is critical to leave behind a planet capable of producing nutritious food and sustaining all life.

American cancer society, 2023

LendingCon 2023 was proud to support American Cancer Society and donated $5,001.00 in its honor. The mission of the American Cancer Society is to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.

Autism Society of Greater Orlando, 2022

Jan Gautam, Founder of LendingCon, a long-time hospitality entrepreneur who launched the first ever Lending Conference in Florida in 2021, along with his daughter Ms. Adrianna Gautam, presented the organization’s charitable contribution to the Autism Society of Greater Orlando (“ASGO”) at LendingCon 2022.

LendingCon's generous donation will assist families and make a difference to a child’s life who have little to no medical coverage for autism related therapies.

The mission or goal of the ASGO is that all individuals within the autism spectrum will be provided a lifetime network of opportunities to become fully accepted, included, and actively participating members of our community, through family support, education, advocacy, and public awareness.

Contributing to the mission of ASGO was important to the members of LendingCon and Ms. Gautam, as she is not only a young professional hotelier, but also a behavioral therapist who has a passion for advocating for individuals within the spectrum and ensuring they are given services that provide best quality of life. Ms. Gautam will also be completing her behavior analyst examination in the near future with hope to spread even more awareness to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

“ I am so passionate about this, and I will do anything in my power to make a difference. ”

The Founders of LendingCon and Ms. Gautam are thrilled to support ASGO in the 2022 conference
