How you can partner with us
Support existing projects
This is a good starting point for most companies seeking CSR partnerships. Our myriad of projects across sectors and geographies offer plentiful choices for companies to match their CSR implementation strategies cost-effectively. Since these are existing projects, the time horizon to visibly see the impact of CSR investments is usually shorter.
Partner on new projects
If your company has a well-defined CSR strategy and an implementation plan where you have identified the geography, sector, and issue that you would like to address then this is a good option. You can leverage our domain expertise and management experience by choosing The Art of Living as an implementation partner for your CSR projects.
Share knowledge and resources
Most of the CSR projects that we work on require creative solutions to complex problems. Companies are often unaware of the value of their resources like domain knowledge, physical infrastructure, employee volunteering, technical skills that can be used to enhance the outcome of social projects. Many of these collaborations do not require long-term investment or commitment from the companies.
Our commitment alone cannot achieve total social transformation. The first step begins with a commitment from each individual and ends with the collective support of all.
