Partner With Us
Each SARD-supported intervention is scoped, costed, and reported clearly. Partners can support afforestation, water conservation, community development, and model village work with project-specific documentation, phased execution, and local handover when the work is complete.
Fund a specific project
SARD works through modest, responsibly managed project budgets. Every supported intervention within afforestation, water conservation, community development, or model village work is scoped, costed, and executed as a standalone unit.
A funding partner selects the programme bracket or intervention they want to support. SARD produces a scope document with the deliverables, timeline, and cost breakdown before any commitment is made. On completion, SARD delivers a project completion report with photographs, specifications, expenditure summary, and a handover record.
For water conservation, SARD prioritises strengthening existing tanks, bunds, and check-dam systems through desiltation, minor repairs, recharge improvement, and community maintenance planning.
SARD is registered under Section 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act. CSR contributions under the Companies Act 2013 Schedule VII are applicable to SARD's programme activities.
What you can fund
Four programme brackets
Each programme bracket can be translated into a specific, costed intervention after field scoping. Project costs are confirmed before funding commitments are made.
Environment
Afforestation
Survival-focused planting, avenue greenery, and community spaces that restore green cover, improve ecological balance, and support local stewardship after planting.
Water
Water Conservation
Existing tank and check-dam support through desiltation, bund strengthening, minor repairs, recharge improvement, roof rainwater harvesting systems, farm ponds, watershed development, water-efficient agriculture, and water management technologies.
Community
Community Development
RO plants and safe drinking water support, awareness camps, women empowerment, community health, livelihood and agriculture, child labour elimination, infrastructure, skill development, WASH, and convergence works with local handover.
Integrated Development
Model Villages
Model village planning that builds on SARD's separate field work — RO plants, water-asset strengthening, awareness camps, afforestation, and community spaces — and integrates them into a practical local plan.
