NGO Advisory & Funding
Program design, funding strategy and impact systems for NGOs working on energy access, climate and sustainability.
Overview
India's climate and energy-access missions run on the ground through NGOs — but most struggle to access the CSR, philanthropic and institutional capital that scales their impact.
We bring the same rigour we apply to project finance: sharpening program design, building credible funding pipelines across CSR, grants and blended philanthropy, keeping compliance airtight, and putting measurable impact at the centre of every funder conversation.
