01 / WHAT WE DO

About & Services

The CSR Bridge Engine — end-to-end fundraising support

Most NGOs lose corporate grants not because their work lacks impact, but because their paperwork, pitch, and positioning don't survive due diligence. We fix all three.

We represent you in the boardroom

Direct access to CSR heads, foundation trustees, and ESG committees.

CSR Mandate Matching & Discovery

We continuously track live CSR budgets, sector mandates, and geographic priorities of corporates across industries — then match them against your NGO's programs so you only pitch where you can win.

Boardroom Pitch Decks & Dossiers

Investor-grade pitch books, impact logic models, and budget frameworks that speak the language of CSR committees and board members.

80G / 12A / CSR-1 Compliance Packaging

Complete registration, audit trail, and documentation readiness so your NGO clears corporate due diligence on the first pass.

Corporate Liaison & Disbursement

We sit in the boardroom for you — negotiating MoUs, milestone schedules, and tranche-wise fund disbursement until money reaches your account.

Post-Grant Impact M&E Reporting

Quarterly utilization certificates, beneficiary data, and impact reports that turn one-time grants into multi-year renewals.

How engagement works: free eligibility audit → association plan selection → dossier build → corporate outreach → grant disbursement → renewal reporting. No upfront risk, milestone-aligned.

02 / LEADERSHIP

Director & Team

Led by a fundraiser, not an agency

Akshaya Vats — Founder & Director, Impact Sutra

Akshaya Vats

Founder & Director

IIT BHU Alumnus

Two Decades of Business & Industry Experience

An IIT BHU alumnus with two decades of business and industry experience, Akshaya leads Impact Sutra's CSR advisory practice — translating grassroots impact into boardroom-ready proposals and standing beside NGOs through every negotiation, from first pitch to fund disbursement.

A senior team behind every mandate

The director is backed by a team with 15+ years of fundraising experience across verticals — corporate fundraising, institutional and CSR grants, and individual donor programs — built across education, healthcare, rural development, and women-empowerment missions.

That blend matters: corporate CSR demands compliance rigour, while individual giving demands storytelling. Our team has run both — so your proposal reads credibly to a CSR committee and moves a human being at the same time.
