The Wadhwani Grant Program funds non-profit organizations with innovative, effective approaches to help disabled persons achieve their potential.

Status
The Wadhwani Foundation Grant Program was developed and launched in 2003 with the first grant cycle starting in August 2003.

The Grant Committee approved grants to the following 4 organizations:

Mitra Jyothi - Bangalore
The Association of People with Disability - Bangalore
Spastics Society of Karnataka - Bangalore
Medical Research Foundation - Chennai

Goal
The Wadhwani Grant Program aims to help thousands of disabled persons gain productive employment over the next 10 years, both directly, or indirectly through successful advocacy efforts.

Strategy
To do this, we are funding a group of non profit organizations that will offer a full set of mutually reinforcing programs that provide disabled people opportunities to start their own enterprises or have opportunities to be gainfully employed. The members of this network will be able to leverage each other’s knowledge and resources to increase effectiveness.

We invest in projects or activities where an infusion of funds will make a significant difference, either by increasing scale or quality, or by launching a new effort.

If you are part of an non profit organization that shares our vision, please contact us and if you are a non profit organization seeking funds please see our Grant Process and Proposal Format sections.
