Tata Trusts And Its Brand Value

Tata Trusts are among India’s oldest contributing organisations that are work in various natural resources management, rural livelihoods, urban livelihoods, poverty, education, boosting civil society, and governance health and media arts, crafts and culture. Tata Trusts have an yearly outcome of over Rs 550 crore in donation work of which 80% is distributed to partnership for particular project reaching out to over 4 million households. Referring to the grant-giving process, Tata said all proposals should have a sustainability process.

The idea of Trusts among all this was they wanted to change the form of their goodwill from one that was every time accomplished by non government organizations (NGOs) to one where they can manage some of their projects by themselves. ” We would continue to collaborate- the Trusts to NGOs to communities system- but now we would also be involved directly,” Tata said.
