How we work 

To bring about change in the lives of the poorest people, we need to understand their needs and challenges. We will identify problems and listen to issues. Then we can consider if we can meaningfully address the problems and leave a positive legacy. Our projects will be selected based on achieving the greatest impact and scalability in partnership with like-minded people.

In each of our key areas we have a strategic leader as well as allocation of resources and will collaborate with the recipient grantee and partner organisations to develop a clear plan that aligns with the strategic priorities and the recipient organisations focus and capabilities. We will be clear on inputs and outputs of each project.

Our process for making grants will start with an idea aligned with our strategy to be approved by the Trustees. This is followed by processes for assembling internal resources, identifying suitable partners and deliverers, formalising the investment proposal, managing the grant and evaluating the results on conclusion of the project.

Whilst we are focused in the UK and India during  our early development years, we wish to deploy our ideas, initiatives and legacy to a global audience. This will involve building up our pool of Donor and Volunteers as well scaling up the infrastructure of the KM Foundation to  manage the charity on a global scale.
