Tips for Applicants

The Foundation emphasizes long-term, sustainable programs that foster community empowerment and local management. Proposals should clearly align with their core focus areas of education, health, or environmental sustainability in the Himalaya (Nepal, India, Bhutan). Given their existing partnerships, demonstrating collaboration with established local NGOs may be beneficial. They are AusAID accredited and adhere to the ACFID Code of Conduct, indicating a preference for partners with strong accountability and transparent practices.

Giving Philosophy

The Foundation focuses on sustainability and empowerment for the people of the Himalaya, ensuring projects are set up, managed, and supported locally. Their vision is to help Himalayan communities achieve their goals through improvements in education, health & medical services, and environment & wildlife conservation, aligning with UN's Millennium Development Goals to reduce poverty and address human rights.
