“The Foundation launched HCL Grant, an initiative to support NGOs and individual social leaders who are implementing projects for upliftment and development of the country,” the foundation said in a statement here.

HCL Foundation is a Corporate Social Responsibility Trust, supported by employees’ contribution of Re.1 per day and matched by the HCL management.

“In its first year, one winning NGO will receive a grant of Rs. 5 crores,” the statement said. “A sum of Rs.100 crores would be spent over the period of next five years through this initiative.”

Six finalists have been selected from a pool of over 400 NGOs from across the country for the initiative. The winning NGO will be announced on Monday.
