Niti Social Foundation works at the grassroots — empowering marginalised communities through education, livelihood, health, and environmental sustainability across Maharashtra.
We believe every person deserves the opportunity to shape their own story.— Founding Principle, Niti Social Foundation
Founded in Pune in 2026, Niti Social Foundation is a grassroots non-profit working with underserved communities across Maharashtra. We are driven by the belief that sustainable change comes from within communities, not from outside them.
Community-led design — our programs are shaped by the communities they serve, ensuring genuine relevance and lasting impact.
Holistic development — we address education, livelihoods, health, and environment together, because people's lives don't come in silos.
Full transparency — every rupee is accountable. We publish annual impact reports and maintain open financial disclosures for all donors.

₹1,000 funds a child's education for one month. ₹5,000 plants 50 trees. Every amount matters.
We follow a 4-stage model that ensures every intervention is sustainable, community-owned, and measurable.
We begin with deep listening — field surveys, focus group discussions, and co-design sessions with community members.
Programs are designed with, not for, communities. Local leaders and women's groups participate in shaping every initiative.
Programs are delivered by local community workers with continuous data collection and real-time feedback loops.
Third-party evaluations, published annual reports, and open financial data ensure accountability to donors and communities.
Whether you're a corporation, an individual professional, or another NGO — there's a meaningful way for you to engage with our mission.
