Institutional well-being for social change: EdelGive Foundation emphasizes on the need to create sustainable and future-ready grassroots organisations
Chennai, January 27, 2022: Civil society organisations across India are feeling the adverse impact of COVID-19 as they continue to provide relief and support to the underserved communities during the pandemic. The lack of resources has hindered their growth and functioning, while several NGOs have faced the risk of forced closure. In an effort to tackle this, EdelGive Foundation introduced GROW Fund (Grassroots, Resilience, Ownership, Wellness) – a first-of-its-kind unique financial initiative that aims to redefine collaborative philanthropy and help grassroots organisations to mitigate the risks of COVID-19 and become future ready.
To discuss creation of sustainable and resilient grassroots organisations, EdelGive Foundation organized a roundtable conversation on January 24, 2022, with the theme of Institutional Well-being. Representatives from leading Indian and international philanthropic institutions, namely Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rainmatter Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, Societal Platform and Dalyan Foundation joined Naghma Mulla, CEO, EdelGive Foundation, to discuss how institutional well-being can prove to be a successful approach towards more effective social change. The discussion was moderated by Smarinita Shetty, Co-founder and CEO, India Development Review.
