Who We Are

A professional collective,
driven by volunteers

We started in 2010 with a single, clear objective: to ensure that children born in underprivileged communities have a direct, sustainable path to independent livelihoods. We aren't a corporate non-profit. We are a weekend collective of professionals who fund our own administrative costs so that 100% of your contributions go straight to school fees, nutrition, and child development.

Volunteer-Driven

No salaries, no physical office costs, run entirely by professional skills.

<1% Admin Costs

Every single rupee donated goes directly to the ground.

Who We Are & What We Do

Uplift Foundation is a registered, independent social organisation undertaking various activities to support individuals to help them become self-sustainable and uplift their standard of living. We are based in Mumbai and have conducted programs in slums, tribal areas, and rural locations, making a difference to a large number of lives.

Started in 2010, Uplift Foundation is an associate of Redbrick Capital Advisors Private Limited (RCAPL). Since 2014, we have been registered as an independent trust under the Bombay Public Trust Act, 1950.

We work on the ground level, understanding the needs of the people and working towards helping them meet those needs. Each individual at Uplift Foundation works with the intention of being an agent of change, helping others achieve their dreams.
