Dhwani Foundation

Dhwani Foundation in Bangalore is an organization dedicated to strengthening the social sector by providing support to NGOs, foundations, governments, and other stakeholders. Their approach involves offering capacity-building programs, technology solutions, support services, and facilitating strategic collaborations. The foundation was established by experienced entrepreneurs and professionals from both the corporate and development sectors. The impetus for its creation arose from the founding team's recognition of the need to enhance the capabilities of non-profit organizations to maximize their impact.

The founders, Manju Kuchhal and MJ Aravind, after years of supporting NGOs as donors, observed a recurring pattern where many nonprofits were unable to fully achieve their goals. They noted that while these organizations were deeply committed to their causes and had extensive experience working within their communities, a lack of robust processes and execution capacity often hindered their potential. This realization led to the understanding that grassroots organizations required more than just financial assistance to become truly effective.
