Description
1) Objective
Reflecting the values of their founder Paul Hamlyn, the Foundation aims to improve opportunities and life chances for young people. Besides their support programs in the UK (including support programs in arts, migration and integration as well as a special youth fund), the Foundation also supports Indian development NGOs who work in health, education, women’s rights, children’s rights and political representation.
They fund organisations working with vulnerable communities. This includes but is not limited the following groups:
- Communities with little or no access to education
- Communities with little or no access to health services
- Dalit communities, particularly those in dangerous or harmful work
- Disabled people, particularly children
- Families living in extreme poverty
- Tribal communities fighting for or dispossessed of their land and resources
- Women
2) Eligibility
Eligible for funding are only local Indian NGOs with a Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) registration (no support for locally registered branches of non-Indian organisations). The organisations they support for micro-level activities will be small to medium NGOs who have a direct implementation role with communities. They will be local to their area of work, will have a field presence and will already have implemented (or be implementing) initiatives in that area. They will probably have an annual outlay of less than Rs 1.5 crore (roughly equal to £150,000 GBP) .
3) Location
Their geographic focus is mainly on the poorest Indian states and priority is given to particularly vulnerable groups within Indian society. This focuses on central parts of India which are among the poorest parts of the country, stretching between the eastern part of Gujarat in the west to West Bengal and Assam in the east.
4) Budget
Funding ranges from ₹10,00,000 to ₹30,00,000 (app. €100,000-€300,000).
5) Application
Applicants can submit a written application for funding through their online portal. Applications can be submitted at any time.
