We believe that social impact doesn’t happen in silos, it requires collaboration, trust, and alignment of purpose. As an intermediary foundation, our role is to bridge the gap between those who want to give, and those who need support.
What is an Intermediary Foundation?
We’re not a direct implementer. Instead, we act as a connector between funders—such as corporations with CSR programs, philanthropists, or individuals—and grassroots organizations or communities working on the ground.
Our job is to ensure that resources meet the right needs, with transparency, accountability, and local relevance.
Our Three-Part Approach:
- Mapping Needs & Opportunities
We start by understanding the real issues in the field, identifying local actors and communities that are already doing impactful work but need support to grow. - Designing Collaborative Solutions
We facilitate program design that aligns donor objectives with real needs—building solutions together with communities and stakeholders. - Delivering with Impact
We ensure programs are implemented transparently and effectively. From funding flow to reporting, we support the whole process and make sure outcomes are measurable.
Why This Model Matters?
This collaborative approach allows for:
- Greater efficiency in addressing social issues
- Stronger accountability through shared responsibility
- Sustainable impact because solutions are locally rooted
At Prana, we don’t just channel resources.
We nurture shared ownership, mutual learning, and transformative partnerships.
Let’s continue building a future where giving is not just generous—but also strategic and impactful.
