At the Philanthropy, we make multi-year grants to not-for-profit organizations who work with the most vulnerable in our society. Through such support, people who are deeply disadvantaged and marginalized are offered immediate care, access to essential services, and the possibility of a dignified future.

Through our grants, we support a range of initiatives – at the level of a community of marginalized people, as well as at the level of the Government service delivery systems. For instance, we support our partners to provide shelter to homeless people living on the streets of Kolkata, and support improving last mile access to the welfare services for the communities living in the tribal areas of Andhra Pradesh.

We work in a range of thematic areas. Illustratively, this includes: Urban homeless, Persons with disability, Women survivors of violence, Adolescent girls at risk, Street children, Elderly poor, Manual scavengers, Rag pickers, Migrant workers, Transgenders and other gender minorities, Farmers with marginal landholding, Particularly vulnerable tribal groups, and Water-deficient communities.

Our teams in each area focus on developing an understanding of the issues, and building partnerships towards a common set of goals. We systematically engage with our partner organizations and communities to reflect and learn, with an aim to improve the lives of these communities.
