Smile Foundation is a non-governmental organization based in New Delhi, India. It was established in 2002 and has a presence in 25 Indian states.

The organisation works for the welfare of children,[1] their families,[2][3] and the community through four major programmes.[4][5] [6]

History

In 2002, a group of young corporate professionals came together to set up Smile Foundation to work with grassroots initiatives for effecting positive changes in the lives of underprivileged children, their families and communities. This group of people were inspired by Senge's philosophy.[7]

Working Models

The organisation has two working models: social venture philanthropy[8] and outreach. Social venture philanthropy is a model based on the business concept of venture capital.[9] Outreach is the model under which the organisation directly implements development projects for underprivileged communities in villages as well as urban slums across the country.[10]
