While we do understand that young organizations in the social sector need constant support for funding, we do believe that it is very important for them to invest in their own people and organization development for long-term sustainability. With our mandate to build a strong self-sustaining network of social organizations across the country and with the support of ATE Chandra Foundation, we are offering part bursaries for this program. 

Actual program cost: Rs. 4,00,000 per organization.

Participation fee: Rs. 40,000 per organization for 2 participants to be paid by the participant. However, part bursaries are available on a need basis.

Boarding and lodging for all participants for the ‘in-person’ workshops will be covered by Pravah.

Duration of the Program is February- November 2024.
