Dear Sir/Madam,
On 18
December 2012, the Lok Sabha approved the New Companies Bill 2012. This Bill
has provision of mandatory spending of 2% of the profits of the companies
on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The list of activities in
the Bill and procedure to spend this money opens new window of opportunities
for NGO’s to get funding from businesses for their projects. However, the Bill
is yet to be passed by the Rajya Sabha. Additionally, the Department of Public
Enterprises (DPE) has issued guidelines (2009 & 2013) to all central Public
Sector Enterprises (CPSEs/PSUs) to spend 1-5% of their net profit on CSR
activities. Again the NGOs have been specified as one of the key partners to
implement CSR projects. It is estimated that INR 1800
crore/annually is available through PSUs for CSR projects. If
the Companies Bill is passed by the Rajya Sabha, then there will
be INR 8800-38000 crore/annually funding for CSR
projects. Most of this funding will come to the development sector as the
priorities for CSR spending has been aligned with development sector projects.
Further,
there are philanthropic foundations or individual foundations that have taken
a lead role in funding development sector projects. Many business -honchos
(Azim Premji, Shiv Nadar etc) are declaring their individual fund to address
India’s chronic issues in education, health and livelihoods. A few leading
international foundations (like Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Dell
Foundation) are also focusing on India’s developmental challenges and funding
small and medium NGOs for social innovations.
With the
changing fund-raising scenario and potentials to enter into new partnership
types, it is essential that NGOs do understand what they need to do to get
funding through CSR partnerships with companies. The NGOs need to understand
the ‘Business case’ in CSR partnerships and contribute to mitigating the
business-risks of the companies, in addition to helping them in building
brand-equity.
Philanthropic
foundations also have different expectations from NGOs and new M&E
approaches are highly focused on quality of output rather than believing in
just numbers. Keeping this in mind, Team NGOBOX has designed a holistic ‘Fund-raising
