Grant Updates holds the funding calls we have written up in detail for Indian NGOs, newest first, plus our monthly roundups: dated CSR RFPs, government grant-in-aid windows and foreign grants, each with the official source, the deadline as the funder states it, and who can apply. Closed calls stay up as records with a clear closed note. A foreign grant normally needs FCRA registration or prior permission (FCRA 2010). Last verified 22 Oct 2026. General information only, not legal advice.
