Premji’s philanthropic initiative having significant economic ownership of Wipro Ltd. Azim Premji Foundation includes these Operating Units: – Field Institutes, a network of District Institutes and affiliated Schools that currently work to improve public education; – Philanthropy, the grants organization, referred to as Azim Premji Philanthropic Initiatives; – University in Bengaluru, and other planned locations; – Any other new initiatives, such as future work in Healthcare. Please visit the Azim Premji Foundation website for more information. Please direct your connections to fill the grant application form.

The Santoor Scholarship Program provides priority funding to girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds from developing districts in Karnataka, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh. Please visit Women’s Scholarship (santoorscholarships.com) for more information. We only work with our network organizations for COVID-19 Response. Please refer to the eligibility criteria mentioned under each of the education programs that you wish to apply to. We do not directly fund schools. We do not fund projects initiated in an individual capacity. Sponsorship of school fees is not covered under our mandate. Yes. Please refer to our grant program for children with disabilities. We strongly suggest recent graduates gain at least 2-3 years of full-time work experience in the social sector before setting up their own organizations. It will help them build personal capacities, forging networks, and better clarity on their long-term interest. However, if someone with limited formal work experience but a degree in Environment/Sustainability or similar fields is part of a team that consists of much more experienced co-founders, such applications may be considered on a case-by-case basis. While a degree in Environmental/Sustainability or a similar field is an added advantage, a formal degree in Environmental/Sustainability or a similar field is not mandatory. We consider sustained interest and commitment as essential elements to be an effective (co-) founder of an organization. Applicants with an educational background in other domains must have at least 2-3 years of prior engagement/experience in this space. A balanced team is critical for any organization’s growth and sustenance; however, the founders’ backgrounds need not necessarily be the same. The individuals supported through the grant program are expected to have set up a relatively stable organization by the end of one year of the program period, which could attract organizational or project-based funding from other sources. The continued provision of the stipend would be subject to adherence to the clauses of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the individual and Wipro and satisfactory progress on the plans submitted during the selection stage (including a well-structured organizational development plan); as determined by periodic reviews and discussions; and a detailed annual review. Depending on the progress, outcome of periodic reviews, and detailed annual review, we may further extend organizational support to the teams/organization, after the expiry of the one year term for the grant, on case to case basis. The stipend is for working full-time and in a dedicated manner to set up and develop your organization. If you decide not to work for it for any reason whatsoever, you must inform Wipro immediately so that your case is reviewed and an appropriate decision can be taken based on the specifics of the case. Failure to do so would be treated as a breach of trust and may attract penalties. Setting up a stable organization entails serious upheavals – many of which prove temporary in the long run. We thus expect you to have the resilience to achieve what you had set out to do, despite all obstacles. However, if you are determined to stop working for the organization you had agreed to set-up during the selection stage, you must inform us immediately about your decision. If we feel your interest/request is sufficiently justified, in exceptional cases, we may continue the Grant and support you in setting up another organization based on your interest. The grant is meant to provide you with the personal financial flexibility to work full-time and in a dedicated & focused manner to the cause and task of setting up an effective initiative. We thus expect you to be engrossed in this task. For a (co) founder to expect to do this effectively in a part-time manner, we feel, is unrealistic. Accepting finances from other sources for personal remuneration would generally mean taking out time and effort for something which may not align with the best interest of the organization you are setting up, and hence will not generally be allowed. Please do note, however, that we encourage you to raise funds for the organization. So, in sum, while you are free to raise funds for the organization you have set up to help meet its objectives and plans; you must not take up any paid job which may reduce your attention and effort from the primary task of setting up and developing your organization as an independent entity contributing meaningfully to Water and Waste related issues. Yes, you are encouraged to raise funds from other sources for your organization, provided such funding does not significantly change the original plans that you have shared with us. If you are in doubt, please contact us. Yes, all appropriate government taxes will apply. We understand the difficulties involved while working on Urban Ecology related issues, and the periodic reviews will take this into consideration. However, if there is a lack of sincere commitment and effort, we will terminate our support. We have informal reviews once every quarter – this could be through a visit, phone calls, or other means. There will be a detailed formal review once every year. The grant only supports Operations and Human Resources expenses. We do not provide support for treatments/surgeries of individual patients. Yes. Existing grantees are eligible to apply for healthcare grants. Grant approval is subject to your healthcare project meeting all the requirements under the healthcare grants. We expect the organization to have a strong connection with the local communities where they work. This could be through any of their existing projects (in healthcare or other domains). We do not prefer organizations that plan to work in an entirely new area/community. We support only those organizations that are directly involved in implementing healthcare projects on-ground. Yes. You can apply if your organization is planning to expand an existing healthcare project, provided the locations are close to Wipro Offices in the city. The application link will be enabled in case of a natural disaster, and we will start accepting applications for the Disaster Response Program. Please subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on our latest announcements. No. Any form of fundraising is prohibited at Wipro. No. We do not provide funds for infrastructure development or cash transfers. Yes. Existing grantees can apply for any other Wipro Foundation grant provided they meet the requirements. Yes, you can apply. Please note: Preference is given to organizations having a strong presence at disaster locations. No. Wipro Cares consciously reserves funds to be utilized at the time of an unexpected disaster and focuses on enabling the affected communities to become more resilient and self-sufficient. Yes, you can apply. Please note: Preference is given to organizations that directly implement the projects on-ground. The Wipro Cares funding model comprises three tracks: (i) Employee contribution matched by Wipro (ii) Direct budget allocation from Wipro Ltd (iii) ‘Donations’ from other companies like Wipro Enterprises Private Limited (WEL) as part of their CSR strategy. The Wipro Cares governance framework is a great example of where employees play a key role in volunteering and contribution. More than 30,000 Wipro employees are currently engaged with Wipro Cares, either through volunteering or monetary contributions, or both. Wipro Cares is an employee-led trust functioning under the umbrella of the Wipro Foundation, a CSR initiative of Wipro Limited. Wipro Cares engages with Wipro proximate communities on the issues of education for the underprivileged, including Children with Disabilities, primary health-care, and the environment. In addition, the trust also works on the long-term rehabilitation of affected communities after natural disasters. For queries regarding openings at Wipro Cares, please reach out to wipro.cares@wipro.com. Depending on the project, volunteers may be allowed to bring their family and friends. Please look out for such exceptions in volunteer communication. Please direct your connections to fill the grant application form.
