There are many ways to support our work — find what fits you.
Chiranthana Foundation is supported by a community of individuals, organisations, and institutions who believe that sustainable change is built from within communities. Whether you have time, expertise, or resources to offer — there is a place for you here.
Support our programmes through direct engagement with communities in rural Karnataka.
We welcome volunteers who bring skills in areas like field documentation, community facilitation, training support, content creation, or outreach. Volunteering with us is hands-on — you work alongside the women and communities we support, not just around them.
Whether you can offer a weekend or a longer commitment, reach out and we'll find a meaningful way to engage.
We collaborate with organisations, CSR initiatives, and institutions that share our commitment to community-led livelihoods.
Partnerships can take many forms — from co-designing livelihood programmes and creating market linkages for our producer groups, to funding specific initiatives or supporting training and capacity-building efforts.
We are currently working across silk-based rural tourism, traditional food enterprises, and planned youth well-being programmes. If your organisation's goals align, we'd love to explore what's possible together.
Help us scale women-led livelihood initiatives through financial or institutional support.
Your support helps us expand our reach — training more women, opening new market channels, and deepening the quality of our programmes. We believe in transparency: contributions go directly into programme activities and community capacity.
If you'd like to understand more about how your support would be used before committing, we're happy to share our programme details and financials.
One of the most direct ways to support our work is to visit.
The Sutra – Silk Route Experience is a full-day immersive journey through Ramanagara's silk ecosystem — mulberry farms, cocoon markets, weaving units, and a shared meal with the families who host you. The experience is designed, hosted, and led by SHG women from the community. Every booking directly supports their livelihoods.
