Key takeaways

  • The stated work is education and skills for 12 to 17 year olds in India's urban slums, mainly after-school programmes for students at risk of dropping out, so a project should clearly serve that group and place to fit.
  • Neither the annual report nor the website gives a grant range or an annual giving figure, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from published material and a modest, clearly costed ask is the safer starting point.
  • No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how the fund considers proposals.
  • The published material does not say how competitive or relationship-led the fund is, so treat early contact as a way to learn that.
