Impact is built on trust. Trust is built on integrity.

We are looking for partners — institutional funders, foundations and corporate organisations — who share our commitment to long-term, community-owned change.

Opening brief

Co-create, don't commission.

For over 25 years, Living Water India has delivered lasting outcomes in some of India's most underserved communities — beginning with water and sanitation, and growing into the broader stewardship of the natural resources rural livelihoods depend on.

We are looking for partners who want to co-create solutions, bring their expertise alongside ours, and build a relationship grounded in shared values and mutual accountability.

Partnership categories

Three ways to work with us

Each category defines a distinct role — for the partner and for us. Tell us which one fits, and we will shape the rest around your priorities.

  1. 01

    Institutional Donors

    Compliance-ready local implementation

    For bilateral, multilateral and institutional funders. We are FCRA-registered and available for full due diligence, and we work effectively as a local implementing partner within larger consortia — pairing on-the-ground legitimacy with the compliance institutional funding requires.

    Foundations & Philanthropy

    A model with a clear exit

    For foundations funding climate resilience, nature-based solutions, WASH sustainability or community-owned livelihoods. Our reinforcing model — stewardship that becomes self-sustaining — offers a clear exit and lasting impact rather than open-ended dependency.

    CSR with delivery credibility

    For companies seeking high-integrity CSR partners in water, environment, rural livelihoods and climate resilience. We offer deep community access, two decades of delivery credibility, and transparent reporting — turning CSR commitments into durable, visible community outcomes.
