Corporate Donors aid NGOs

  1. By providing money for research

    • Bill & Melinda Gates foundation on women's health

  2. By giving access to best practices eg) Piramal foundation in health

  3. To have basic service made available eg) Akshay Patra during COVID-19

  4. To form better advocacy to seek rights (eg Majlis on women's legal rights)

* Lack of autonomy to NGOs * foreign funds can be against development (eg Greenpeace) * source of money laundering for the corporates (eg FCRA licenses cancelled)

Thus there is need for regulation of corporate aid through FCRA and 2nd ARC suggested - National Accreditation Body for civil society.
