Who We Are?
RakShan Foundation is a global network of 1.2 million neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.
WE ARE COMMUNITY-BUILDERS
We collaborate with community leaders who want to get to work on projects that have a real, lasting impact on people’s lives.
WE ARE PEOPLE OF ACTION
We connect passionate people with diverse perspectives to exchange ideas, forge lifelong friendships, and, above all, take action to change the world.
WE ARE PROBLEM-SOLVERS
Together, we apply our professional experience and personal commitment to tackle our communities’ most persistent problems, finding new, effective ways to enhance health, stability and prosperity.
Solving real problems takes real commitment and vision. RakShan's people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects.
From literacy and livelihood to food and health, we are always working to better our world, and we stay committed to the end.
How We Work?
Our community partners guide us and our values drive us.
INTERCONNECTION
Our liberty is bound together. No person, community, or ecosystem exists in isolation, which means we need each other, and we need to learn from each other.
GROWTH MINDSET
We are constantly evaluating, listening, correcting, and innovating. We do not fail when we change course. Growth is an indicator of health and aliveness. We fail when we are unwilling to change.
INTEGRITY
We hold ourselves to a high standard. We are committed to being fair, objective, and proactively transparent in our decisions and behaviors. We honor our commitments and do the right thing.
LOCAL EXPERTISE
The most effective solutions will be crafted by a diverse and collaborative community, with those most affected by injustice at the head of the table.
ACTIVE HOPE
To build the world we need, we must choose to see a better way beyond the current reality, believe that a better way is possible, and commit to creating it.
GRIT
We do not see challenges and setbacks as barriers to success, but as invitations to think creatively and push forward with courage and resolution.
IT’S MORE THAN JUST A JOB
OUR TEAM
We’re curious, passionate, and committed to helping nonprofits learn and grow.

Frequently asked Questions
Why is RakShan doing this?
The Coronavirus pandemic has taken the shape of a disaster for the poor. The lockdown has left daily wage labourers unemployed and rendered homeless. The poor are in need of ration and also hygiene kits to keep themselves secure during the lockdown. To protect the downtrodden from the adverse effects of Coronavirus, RakShan has set up fundraising initiatives to secure the lives of millions in these troubled times. RakShan launched two missions, Mission India Against Coronavirus and Mission Support COVID-19 Hit Families to support the underprivileged and vulnerable communities cope with the virus. The first mission aims at providing hygiene kits and basic provisions to poor families, abandoned elderlies, cancer patients etc. The second mission is to support the daily wage earners who have been stranded without a job and rendered homeless- with cash and ration support to feed their families and take care of other essentials like rent.Does RakShan charge any fees?
