CSR and employee volunteering

From board resolution to a school visit, handled end to end

Most CSR teams have the budget and the intent. What they lack is time to find credible projects, check partners and collect proof. We take on that work and keep your records audit-ready.

Schedule VII references on this site are indicative. Every programme is checked against the current Companies Act rules before it is proposed.

CSR policy and annual action plan

Drafting for the CSR Committee, project selection against Schedule VII, and Form CSR-2 inputs.

Implementing agency checks

CSR-1 registration, 12A and 80G status, and field visits before any funds move.

Impact assessment

Baselines, midline checks and a closing report for projects that fall under the assessment rule.

Employee volunteering days

Block printing, toy making, tree planting and school visits, planned and run for your team.

How we work

Four steps from intent to lasting change

  1. STEP 1

    Identify needs

    We ask what cause you want to back and what your team can give, in money, time and skills.

  2. STEP 2

    Design solutions

    We map your intent to technology-led, sustainable solutions and write a costed programme.

  3. STEP 3

    Implement and measure

    Partners deliver on site while we track progress and assess impact as it happens.

  4. STEP 4

    Sustain and scale

    We help the community adopt the result and help you extend it to new sites.
