We believe that unless members of the civil society are involved proactively in the process of development, sustainable change will not happen. Believing in this principle of ‘Civic Driven Change’ The Third Eye Foundation sensitises the civil society in order to make them partners in its mission.

India has about 11 million children living on the streets and 14 million children working as labours. Only 60% of children have access to education despite having a national policy on compulsory elementary education. The time to take collective as well as individual responsibility to remedy the current situation is here. Right now!

The Third Eye Foundation is a national level development organization with its welfare projects spread across India.

The Third Eye Foundation’s mission is to empower underprivileged children, youth and their families and community through relevant education. We aim to deploy best possible methodology and technology for achieving ideal SROI (social return on investment), to practice and promote good governance, to link business competitiveness of the corporate with social development initiatives and to sensitize the privileged section of society to promote Civic Driven Change.

The realization of a group of young corporate professionals, that it was their Social Responsibility to give back to the society, laid the inception of The Third Eye Foundation. The Third Eye Foundation is managed professionally by a Board of Advisors, comprising individuals from diverse backgrounds and expertise, followed by an Executive Committee and a well defined professional workforce.

Education alone has the power to liberate people from the vicious cycle of poverty – not only in terms of earning a livelihood but also in becoming aware of the rights and freedoms that a citizen is endowed with. Thus empowering individuals and making them self-sufficient.

The Third Eye Foundation has been working in the thematic areas of education and blood donation.

The Third Eye Foundation works under two models, namely Social Venture Philanthropy (SVP) and Outreach.

Around 70-80% funding support of the organization comes from corporates; the rest comes from PSUs, individual donors and private institutions.

There is a user friendly application form available on our website that an NGO can fill. Apart from that we put notices in all our internal modes of communication like our website, mailers, etc. whenever there is a requirement for a partner in any particular geographical area under our various programmes.

Children, their families and the communities are the target groups of The Third Eye Foundation with children at the center stage. The organization believes that a child’s education cannot be taken care of without taking care of the family, especially the mother, and the communities they belong to.

In our journey so far, we have received immense support from numerous individuals, many private and public sector companies, development agencies, educational institutions, public figures and the mass media. One can associate with us in any of these above mentioned ways.
