Overview

Mission

Support scaling of social enterprises

What it reported doing in 2025

Through our two accelerator cohorts, we supported over 40 social entrepreneurs from across india, representing sectors as diverse as education, healthcare, agriculture, livelihood, fintech, and cleantech. We provided crucial mentorship, investor connections, customer engagement, and partnership opportunities. We emphasized peer-to-peer learning and knowledge-based sessions, helping these entrepreneurs build strong networks and accelerate their impact throughout the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
