CII Foundation

The CII Foundation was set up by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in 2011 and works across India through a collaborative approach, partnering with the government, corporates, civil society, and NGOs, academic institutions, and other key stakeholders to drive social change.

The CII Foundation works in the areas of Climate Change, Disaster Relief and Rehabilitation, Early Childhood Education, Healthcare, Skilling and Livelihood, Women Empowerment, and Waste Management adopting a multistakeholder approach and leveraging the expertise of each stakeholder to channelize their collective resources towards social and community development.
