Call for Proposals

Over the years, the Shola Fellowship Endowment Fund has extended support to communities, collectives, and individuals working at the intersection of equity, ecology, and empowerment.

Many of these grants have lit the first spark—small, timely interventions that enabled enduring journeys of change. Since the fund started in 2006, we have given out 17 small grants and
fellowships till 2025.

This document has captured a glimpse of that spirit: a quiet trust in people and their potential, a belief that even modest support can seed something lasting. As we carry this work forward, we remain guided by the values and vision of those who inspired it—and by the growing community that continues to shape and strengthen the Fellowship’s path.

Donate and Support

We are raising more funds now to replenish and re-stock the amount, which can support more deserving participants. We appeal not only for funds, but also to identify deserving candidates you come across in your field of engagement. We have yearly grants and a 3-4 persons selection committee from the Shola Fellowship members.

All donations made for the Shola Fellowship Endowment Fund are exempt under 80 G of the Income Tax in India.
