Kathmandu. As part of its ongoing commitment to driving social initiatives under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the grassroots level, Ncell Foundation has called for applications for ‘19 for 19’ grant. This initiative launched marking Ncell’s 19th anniversary, invites eligible organizations to apply for grants aimed at supporting community level projects that create meaningful and sustainable impact.
Building on the success of last year’s ‘18 for 18’ project, initiated on the occasion of Ncell’s 18th year of operations in Nepal, this year’s grant reaffirms Ncell Foundation’s dedication to serving underserved communities. The focus areas include health, education, environment, disaster preparedness and response and livelihood support, among others.
The ‘19 for 19’ grant will provide financial support to 19 projects across all seven provinces, with each project receiving Rs. 1 million (Rs. 10 lakh) and total commitment for this project from Ncell Foundation is more than Rs. 19 million. The grant is open to not-for-profit organizations working to address critical challenges at community level.
These grants offer such organizations an excellent opportunity to secure funding for projects that make a difference, particularly those that promote sustainability and long-term development. Ncell Foundation will prioritize projects that demonstrate clear objectives, active community engagement, and have potential for further scaling up.
“At Ncell Foundation, we believe in the power of community-driven change. We encourage those who are working at the community level to apply for this project,” said Bishakha Lakshmi Khadka, Head of Corporate Communications and CSR at Ncell. “Through ‘19 for 19’, we are proud to continue giving back to the communities and people who have been with us for nearly last two decades of service operation. This will empower grassroot projects to create meaningful transformations where it is needed most.”
Last year’s ‘18 for 18’ project successfully supported various community-level initiatives across the country. This year, ‘19 for 19’ grant aims to further strengthen that legacy by empowering even more local projects supporting development aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in line with Ncell Foundation’s vision for a better, more sustainable future—Because We Are All Connected.
