About AIF - Who We Are

AIF's mission is to accelerate social and economic change in India. By mobilizing people and resources in the United States, AIF has invested in over 100 Indian non-governmental organizations since its inception in 2001. AIF awards grants to education, livelihood and public health projects in India - with emphases on elementary education, women's empowerment and HIV/AIDS respectively.

AIF also administers two programs: (1) Digital Equalizer, which bridges the "digital divide" by providing computers, Internet access and training in under-resourced schools, and (2) Service Corps, which builds the capacity of Indian NGOs by placing qualified young American professionals for ten-month volunteer assignments. President Bill Clinton serves as Honorary Chair of AIF.

AIF works out of New York and Silicon Valley in the US, and New Delhi and Bangalore in India.
