Partner through CSR or a grant

We are registered to carry out CSR projects, with 35 years of work in the field and our own rural campus. We design the project with you, run it with the village, and report back with numbers.

Why partner with NiViM

  1. Proven at landscape scale

    A 13-year effort helped secure the 96.01 sq km Muniya Conservation Reserve. 40 villages now hold community forest rights over 9,385 ha under the Forest Rights Act.

  2. Delivered and reported for funders

    Our Bharat Agroecology Fund project reached 113 farmers, with a final activities report.

  3. Our own field base

    NETRAVAN, at the edge of the forest in Umred taluka, hosts trainings, camps and demonstrations, so your project has a home.

  4. Fully registered

    CSR-1, 12A, 80G and FCRA registered, listed on NGO DARPAN. Awarded by the Narotam Sekhsaria Foundation, Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Kirloskar Foundation, among others.
