Inviting CSR Implementing Agencies in NGOBOX CSR IA Challenge 2016 

 

About the Challenge

CSR IA (implementing agency) challenge  is all about identifying a few promising CSR partners for companies and CSR foundations in India. After the Companies Act of 2013, there has been tremendous pressure on CSR Teams of corporates to identify reliable partners who can deliver impacts at the ground level. Traditional NGOs has been under the pressure to re-engineer themselves to stand up to the expectations of companies. During this period, we have been approached by a range of businesses to help them identify a few good implementing agencies in various thematic areas as well as catering to different geographies. 

 

To give a fitting reply to the demands generated by the CSR rules, we at NGOBOX have envisaged an idea to give an opportunity to a few best of the NGOs, especially grass-root organisations and innovators to come forward and present their work to businesses and CSR foundations during one of the biggest CSR partnerships event in India.

 

What it has for the winners?

The challenge invites NGOs, technical agencies, innovators, government agencies and academic institutions to prepare their CSR Capacity statement and apply for the Challenge. The 10 best organisations with capacities to deliver impacts at the grass-root level or provide sustainable solutions to development challenges will be invited in India CSR Summit & CSR Partnerships Exhibition 2016’ and will be given a special display stall of 6-9 sq. m. to present their capacities to companies and CSR foundations. Apart form this, they will also be felicitated in the special ceremony during the event.  Additionaly, the winners profile will be published on NGOBOX website and newsletters. 

In case where an organization is not short-listed for the exhibition, they can get 50% discount on the applicable delegate registration fee to attend the Summit. The discount is applicable on non-residential delegate fee for one person from each organization.
