Rebuild India Fund was launched as a relief initiative at the height of the Covid pandemic in India in April 2021. Recognizing the long-term impact Covid will have on India's vulnerable and marginalized communities, as well as the need to stand in solidarity and support local partners with opportunities to exercise power, agency and leadership, Dasra and Tarsadia Foundation expanded the scope of the Rebuild India Fund to be a platform that champions proximate leadership to revitalize communities and establish resilient pathways for sustainable change.
Rebuild India Fund supports grassroots NGOs with flexible funding and capacity building – recognizing and respecting NGO leaders' ability and power to run their organizations in a manner that serves their communities most meaningfully.
