NOURISING FUTURES, TOGETHER
At Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Trust, we view CSR as a high-impact investment in India’s human capital. By aligning your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals with our Morning Nutrition program, your organization becomes a direct catalyst for nation-building. Together, through our expansive Morning Nutrition network, we are bridging the nutrition gap and ensuring that no child in a government school is ever forced to study on an empty stomach.
“Collaborate for Impact: Partnership Models / Ways to Partner With Us
We offer transparent, highly scalable partnership models tailored to your organization’s CSR objectives and employee engagement goals.
- Sponsoring Morning Nutrition: Adopting Schools (Operations)
Directly fund the daily nourishment of school children. Breakfast is the most crucial meal of the day, yet millions skip it
What it funds: The daily end-to-end procurement, preparation, and distribution of SaiSure fortified nutrition to government school children.
The Impact: You can choose to “Adopt a School,” a cluster of schools, or an entire mandal/taluk for the academic year. This intervention visibly increases school attendance, eliminates classroom hunger, reduces dropout rates, and actively improves BMI and immunity.
2.Corporate Employee Volunteering: The Joy of Seva (Service) :
Transform your corporate culture by engaging your workforce in meaningful, hands-on service. We offer well-organized volunteering opportunities that foster team building and empathy.
- What it involves: Employees can participate in early morning distribution drives, serve Morning Nutrition to children at local government schools, assist in health screening camps, or participate in hygiene and sanitation awareness drives.
- The Impact: A highly motivated workforce with a deep, personal connection to your company’s social impact goals. Employees return to work energized by the pure joy of giving back.
- Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Funding: Building the Foundation
Help us build the robust infrastructure required to scale our reach to millions of children. CapEx funding ensures the long-term sustainability and safety of our nutrition programs.
What it funds: Procurement of food delivery vehicles, and machinery for producing our proprietary SaiSure multi-nutrient health mix.
The Impact: Your investment creates permanent assets that enable us to add entire districts to our daily Morning Nutrition roster, drastically lowering the per-child cost of operations over time.
- Corporate-Supported Employee Giving Program: Multiply Giving Through Matching Programs
Enable a culture of giving within your organization by supporting employee donations through corporate matching programs. Using platforms such as Benevity, Goodstack, and similar workplace giving tools, employees can contribute to our nutrition programs—and your organization can match those contributions to significantly increase impact.
What it funds: The daily end-to-end procurement, preparation, and distribution of SaiSure fortified nutrition to government school children.
The Impact: Employee contribution matching transforms individual generosity into collective impact. When employees donate and companies match those contributions, the total support for child nutrition grows exponentially

The progress we make is powered by partners who believe in creating lasting change. Our partners represent a wide range of industries and backgrounds, yet share a common vision of building healthier futures for children and communities.

Corporate Employees Volunteering Program
Corporate companies like Oracle and KPMG participate in Annapoorna activities by sending their employees as volunteers on a regular basis to schools that are being served by Annapoorna. These corporate volunteers visit a particular school(s) and spend several hours of a day with the children engaging them in activities. For instance, they start the day by lovingly serving breakfast to the children and experience the deep pleasure that is felt when a hungry child gets hot delicious food in the morning. Post-breakfast, the corporate volunteers engage with the children either via games or teach them on topics such as hygiene and waste management. Sometimes, the volunteers also bring useful gifts for the school children such as books and stationary kits and distribute sweets or chocolates to the children. Often, as a mark of gratitude, the school children present a dance or songs or exhibit their various talents. A typical engagement ends with lunch with the children. Sometimes, companies come and celebrate a particular festival or event with the school children. For example, Oracle engages school children in events such as tree plantation by which the children understand the importance of planting trees or “Read-a-book-a-day” which helps cultivate the reading habit in school children.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Empowering Change Through Food, IT, and Volunteering Partnerships
Corporate Social Responsibility through Employee Engagement
Corporate companies like Oracle and KPMG actively participate in Annapoorna Trust's corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by regularly sending their employees as volunteers to schools supported by the Trust. These corporate volunteers visit selected schools and spend meaningful time engaging with the children.
A typical day begins with volunteers lovingly serving breakfast, experiencing the joy of providing hot, nutritious food to children who would otherwise start their day hungry. Following breakfast, volunteers interact with the children through games, educational sessions on hygiene, waste management, or fun learning activities.
Many times, volunteers bring gifts such as books, stationery kits, and treats like sweets or chocolates. In appreciation, school children often present songs, dances, or other creative performances to express their gratitude.
Some CSR engagements also align with festivals or special events. For example, Oracle volunteers organize tree plantation drives or reading programs like “Read-a-book-a-day” that encourage environmental awareness and literacy among children.
These activities not only bring joy and inspiration to the children but also give companies a meaningful way to engage in impactful CSR with NGO initiatives. By partnering with Annapoorna Trust, businesses are demonstrating how NGO for CSR in India can create lasting, positive change through employee engagement and community involvement.
Food Partners Provide Items Free or With Deep Discounts
Some of our partner organizations engage with Annapoorna by providing food items for the school children either free of cost or with deep discounts. For example, one of our partners Dabur provides truckloads of fruit juices and other edible items free of cost to Annapoorna. Since, one of the value propositions of Annapoorna is its extremely efficient distribution mechanism and its knowledge of geographies with critical need, food products that are scheduled to expire in a short period of time (e.g. in the next 2 weeks) can be quickly distributed by Annapoorna to schools where they are immediately consumed. This helps Dabur ensure consumption of its food products by the needy instead of consigning them to wastage. Other companies like Britannia and Unibic have provided us cookies and biscuits at a deep discount so Annapoorna can provide service to large swarms of schools across geographies. These food products are not only easy to distribute but are also relished by the school children along with a glass of hot milk.
IT Partners Provide Free Software Service
As Annapoorna has scaled its operations from a few hundred school children to two hundred thousand children, it has increasingly leveraged digitalization and automation of infrastructure and processes such as invoicing, payments, reporting, and data collection to achieve a high level of operational efficiency and financial accountability. To this end, Annapoorna is supported by its IT partners who provide free access to their systems, software, and development environment. For instance, Zoho is providing Annapoorna with life-time access to a suite of cloud-based software applications including ERP systems. They also provide Annapoorna with a team of developers who support customization of this software to serve the complex needs of Annapoorna.
Food Partners: Providing Items Free or at Deep Discounts
Some of our corporate partners support Annapoorna Trust’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives by supplying food products either free of cost or at highly subsidized rates.
For instance, Dabur generously provides truckloads of fruit juices and other edible items completely free to Annapoorna. Thanks to our efficient distribution network and deep understanding of rural geographies, even food items nearing expiry (such as within two weeks) are swiftly delivered to schools where they are immediately consumed—ensuring zero waste and maximum impact.
Other valued partners like Britannia and Unibic offer biscuits and cookies at significantly discounted prices. These snacks, served along with a glass of hot milk, are both nutritious and well-loved by the school children.
These meaningful food partnerships not only help us scale our efforts but also reflect how businesses can align with impactful CSR with NGO initiatives, addressing child nutrition and hunger. By collaborating with Annapoorna Trust, companies are demonstrating the power of NGO for CSR in India to create sustainable social change."
Corporate Social Responsibility in Action: IT Partners Providing Free Software
As Annapoorna Trust scales its operations from a few hundred school children to over two hundred thousand, it increasingly leverages digitalization and automation in its infrastructure and processes, including invoicing, payments, reporting, and data collection. This approach has been critical in achieving a high level of operational efficiency and financial accountability. To support this growth, Annapoorna is backed by its corporate social responsibility (CSR) partners in the IT sector, who provide free access to their systems, software, and development environments. For example, Zoho is offering Annapoorna lifetime access to a suite of cloud-based software applications, including ERP systems, along with a dedicated team of developers to customize these tools to meet the complex needs of our NGO for CSR in India. This collaboration highlights the power of CSR with NGO efforts to drive meaningful change.
