We believe that unless members of the civil society are involved proactively in the process of development, sustainable change will not happen. Believing in this principle of ‘Civic Driven Change’ Stand For Humanity Foundation sensitises the civil society in order to make them partners in its mission.

India has about 11 million children living on the streets and 14 million children working as labours. Only 60% of children have access to education despite having a national policy on compulsory elementary education. The time to take collective as well as individual responsibility to remedy the current situation is here. Right now!

Stand For Humanity Foundation’s mission is to empower underprivileged children, youth and their families and community through relevant education, innovative healthcare and market-focused livelihood programmes. We aim to deploy best possible methodology and technology for achieving ideal SROI (social return on investment), to practice and promote good governance, to link business competitiveness of the corporate with social development initiatives and to sensitize the privileged section of society to promote Civic Driven Change.

The realization of a group of young corporate professionals, that it was their Social Responsibility to give back to the society, laid the inception of Stand For Humanity Foundation. Stand For Humanity Foundation is managed professionally by a Board of Advisors, comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds and expertise, followed by an Executive Committee and a well defined professional workforce.

Stand For Humanity Foundation has been working in the thematic areas of education, healthcare, youth employability and empowerment of women and girls

Education alone has the power to liberate people from the vicious cycle of poverty – not only in terms of earning a livelihood but also in becoming aware of the rights and freedoms that a citizen is endowed with. Thus empowering individuals and making them self-sufficient.

Stand For Humanity Foundation works under two models, namely Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) and Outreach.

SVP: Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) is an innovative model based on the business concept of venture capital. Under SVP, Stand For Humanity Foundation identifies, handholds and builds capacities of genuine grassroots NGOs. Smile focuses on achieving scalability and sustainability, creating a culture of leadership and excellence and inculcating a deep sense of accountability among its partners.

While working in the remote rural areas, Stand For Humanity Foundation realized that capacities of community based organisations (CBOs) were not adequate to meet expectations of social investors. Under outreach model, Stand For Humanity Foundation implements the development interventions directly as it requires intensive and professional engagement for a wider and sustained outcome.

Stand For Humanity Foundation gets a first-hand experience on the nuances of development at the grassroots through its Outreach model and then shares the same with partner organisations.

Around 70-80% funding support of the organization comes from corporates; the rest comes from PSUs, individual donors and private institutions.

There is a user friendly application form available on our website that an NGO can fill. Apart from that we put notices in all our internal modes of communication like our website, mailers, etc. whenever there is a requirement for a partner in any particular geographical area under our various programmes.
