Description

We’re looking to supercharge innovative, replicable, scalable and sustainable climate solutions. If the work you do fits the following criteria, our mission is to amplify your impact.

early a decade ago, HCLTech (India) Grant was launched through HCLFoundation to enable cross-sector collaboration and empower not-for-profit organizations in the fields of health, education and environment to play a decisive role in building a stronger, future-ready India. Today, the HCLTech Grant has invested nearly $18 million towards groundbreaking projects and is recognized as one of the largest grant programs in India, impacting over 27,000+ villages across 22 states and 2 UT's. HCLFoundation which delivers the corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda of HCLTech in India has impacted more than 6.5 million lives, harvested 81 billion litres of water runoff, greened and brought under community management around 72,000+ acres of land, planted 2.82+ million saplings planted, treated and protected 86,816 animals, through a cumulative investment of ~$170 million over a decade. Moreover, in Americas, 100,000 native saplings have been planted across US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil.

We’re proud to bring our cross-sector learnings and innovations from India to the Americas in the space of climate action. To further its commitments as enshrined in its Global CSR Policy, HCLTech will be granting $5 million over five years to impact-focused, Americas-based not-for-profit organizations to supercharge their replicable, scalable and sustainable projects focused on climate action. Three organizations will be selected each year—first place will receive $500,000 and two runners-up will receive $250,000 each for a one-year project.
