voices of grow

“The global pandemic has brought heightened attention to the importance of funding for capability building and future readiness. For NGOs to be sustainable and resilient, funders must focus on more than just programme costs and enable NGOs to continue their work with communities across India. Through the GROW fund, I am certain that we will be able to create scale and resilience for organisations, increasing their impact exponentially, and further creating a more robust social sector.”

“GROW is an audacious and innovative attempt to bring collaborative philanthropy to support and strengthen apex structures for NGOs from all parts of India. We will be looking to find and assist 100 organisations with the help of our partner institutions and philanthropists.”

“The past year has been a difficult time for the organisations we support and the communities we care about. If anything, the continuing pandemic re-emphasises the importance of a resilient and diverse samaaj which has been the bedrock of the early response. I am happy to participate in the GROW Fund as a philanthropy collaborative to strengthen civil society institutions to respond even more effectively to future challenges.”
