Foundation For Accelerating Philanthropy

We are over in Mehrauli Vasant Kunj at C-9/9071. Most days it is just a few of us here handling paperwork and talking on the phones. Foundation For Accelerating Philanthropy is the name on the door, but we just call it the office. People come to us when they want to get money to the right places, and we try to make that go a little faster than it usually does. It gets busy around here, especially in the afternoons when the sun hits the front window. We aren't a big fancy setup, just some desks and a lot of files. The neighborhood is alright, though parking is always a headache near Vasant Kunj. We spend a lot of time checking on projects and making sure things are actually happening on the ground. It is mostly about connecting people who have resources with people who know how to use them. Sometimes it feels like we are just moving piles of paper, but then you see something actually get built or a program start up and it feels better. We don’t have a big corporate team or anything like that. Just regular people trying to figure out how to make giving work better for everyone involved. If you walk past C-9/9071, you might see us through the glass. It is a practical place. We focus on the nuts and bolts of how charity works in this city and beyond. Nothing too complicated, just hard work. It takes time but it's worth it.
