Enabling social entrepreneurs

Non- government or non-profit organizations in our country specialize in executing their programs at the grassroot level, but often require support to develop internal systems and processes to maximize their impact. We at Ernst & Young are committed to providing professional assistance to our communities, which helps them work efficiently and effectively to bring a positive change in the society.

Given below are a few instances:

Capacity building

Our people at Ernst & Young have helped Action for Ability Development and Inclusion, a non- government organization, (NGO) in capacity-building as a pro-bono service.

Tax advice

Ernst & Young has helped Naandi Foundation, a non-profit organization (NPO) , to obtain the 35 AC permissions under the Income Tax Act, which provided a 100% tax rebate to the donors of Naandi’s mid-day meal program in six states. Naandi currently feeds over 10, 00,000 children every day.

Helping Childline

Ernst & Young has offered pro bono advice to Childline, a NPO, on their business plan and scaling up operations to different states across the country.

Goonj

Ernst & Young Foundation is creating an online system as a pro bono service, to help Goonj, a NGO, track movement of clothes and other material received and also help to improvise their management.

Village development model

The Ernst & Young Foundation supports the Srinivasan Services Trust (SST) in its village development model, which is based on sustainable development. A beginning has been made by funding 69 villages on a pilot basis, which is expected to be scaled-up significantly over the next 7 years.
