About AIF - Our Partners

NGO Partners
AIF has invested in over 100 Indian NGOs. In addition to providing financial resources, our experienced professional staff work with NGO partners to develop their capacity to execute efficiently and to expose them to innovative ideas. Once NGOs have developed their models and demonstrated success, we then transfer these models to other NGOs.

Donor Partners
AIF leverages our investments by building partnerships with institutions that magnify the impact of our work. These partnerships are developed in two ways:

Joint Funding of Grants
AIF and another funder organization agree to fund specific projects jointly based on mutual interest. AIF takes the lead in negotiating the agreement with the NGO receiving the grant. Funds from our partners are either channeled through AIF, where we provides fiscal oversight, or independent of AIF, where the partner conducts its own fiscal monitoring.

Programmatic and Funding Partnerships
AIF forms partnerships with institutions that have active programs in India, in which both organizations contribute funds and programmatic inputs.
