Deploy CSR GrantsIn Verified Projects

Funds you can defend in the boardroom and the audit.

Put CSR capital into climate projects that are verified before you fund them and measured after — with the paper trail your auditors expect and the outcomes your board wants to see.

01Accountability

Measure Impact

A grant here is not a cheque into the dark. Audit, reporting, and verification are built into how every project runs — because your CSR spend has to satisfy three audiences at once: the field, the board, and the auditor.

Audit-Ready Trails

Every grant mapped from sanction to outcome — documentation your auditors can walk through without a single follow-up call.

Board-Ready Reports

Outcomes, participation, and environmental metrics, reported back in the language your board reviews.

Verification Before & After

Projects are vetted before you fund them and results verified after — not self-declared.

Pipeline Access

A standing view of fundable projects and startups across sectors, so the next grant is chosen, not chanced.

02Compliance

Built to Receive CSR Capital

Your legal team will ask. Here are the answers — a Section 8 non-profit with the registrations that make a CSR grant clean to give and clean to account for.

03Example · AgriGuru

One Grant, Measured to the Field

Punjab’s groundwater is in critical decline — decades of flood irrigation for paddy have pushed the water table down while flooded fields vent methane. AgriGuru, a student-led startup in the MEF ecosystem, puts sensor-driven Alternate Wetting and Drying into farmers’ fields — cutting water and emissions without cutting yield.

The methane reduction is measured in the field — the kind of verified cut that carbon-credit pathways are built on — and the market linkage keeps farmers in the model, not just in the pilot.

Speak Your Framework

Your annual report speaks ESG and SDG. So do the projects — each one mapped to climate sectors and development goals before it reaches you, so the impact lands in your framework without translation.
