About us

Trusted giving, careful verification.

Our Mission

To raise and mobilize charitable donations that help people in India facing medical and financial crises, and to support registered nonprofits doing verified work. We manage funds and distribute grants to hospitals, service providers and organizations on behalf of people in need.

What We Do

ASSET India Foundation (AIF) accepts tax-deductible donations and grants them to verified needs in India. Gifts are received in AIF’s own accounts. We check each need, approve each grant and pay the hospital, vendor or registered organization directly.

Our superpower is combining trusted giving with careful verification, so donors know where their gift goes.

Who We Help

ASSET India Foundation grants to:

  1. 01Hospitals treating people who cannot afford care, against verified bills
  2. 02Families who have lost their main earner, vetted by our trusted, on-ground charitable partners
  3. 03Registered nonprofits in India with verified work and the required registrations

Our Approach

Verified SupportEvery campaign and recipient is checked before we grant funds.
Paid DirectlyWe pay hospitals, vendors and registered organizations, not personal accounts.
DignityWe treat the people we help with respect and protect their privacy.
