CSR partnerships

We are set up to receive corporate social responsibility funds under Section 135 of the Companies Act 2013, and to report against them the way a board and its auditors actually need.

Which of our programmes qualify

Almost all of them map to Schedule VII. Education, skilling and livelihood enhancement; healthcare and sanitation; women's empowerment and old age homes; environmental sustainability, water conservation and animal welfare; protection of national heritage, art and culture; disaster management including relief and rehabilitation; and rural development. Our programme pages set out the cost structure of each.

What you receive

  • A written project proposal with scope, budget, timeline and measurable outcomes
  • Our CSR-1 registration number and registration certificates
  • Funds held in a separate project ledger, never pooled
  • Quarterly progress reports and a utilisation certificate
  • Impact assessment where the CSR Rules require one
  • Site visits for your team, at any time and without notice
