Indian foundation · Bengaluru, Karnataka
A Bangalore-based philanthropic vehicle funding Indian civil-society work across access to justice, active citizenship, arts and culture, ecosystem building, and climate and environment.
Rohini Nilekani Philanthropies (RNP) is a family philanthropy headquartered in Bengaluru that funds Indian civil-society organisations across five stated societal missions: access to justice, active citizenship, arts and culture, ecosystem building, and climate and environment. RNP frames its approach through the samaaj-sarkaar-bazaar (society-government-market) lens and states that its investments are long-term and rooted in co-creation with grantee partners.
RNP's grants are Indian in origin so FCRA does not apply, but 12A and 80G are near-universal expectations.
