CSR Registration: A Gateway to Greater Social Impact

POSTED ON July 26, 2025 BY AKSHAYACHAITANYA

Private sector companies with significant turnover have the power to create meaningful change by directing their resources toward impactful social causes. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) offers a structured, compliant path to channel this intent in alignment with their brand’s mission and values.

For NGOs in India, CSR registration is a critical step toward accessing such support. It not only enables funding but also strengthens the organisation's credibility and potential for long-term impact.
