About
To support sustainable community development across India, including some engagement with heritage, culture and the arts.
The Adani Foundation is the corporate social-responsibility arm of the Adani Group, working across education, health, sustainable livelihoods and community infrastructure at scale across India. Within its broad development programme, it has engaged with heritage, culture and the arts as one strand of its community work, though its principal focus lies in social and rural development rather than dedicated arts philanthropy.
Founded in 1996, the Adani Foundation grew into one of the largest corporate foundations in India by reach. Cultural and heritage engagement features within its wider corporate social responsibility rather than as a central programme, placing Adani among the large corporates with some, if secondary, involvement in the cultural sphere.
The Adani Foundation's engagement with culture is a secondary strand of a large corporate philanthropy focused primarily on community development.
[Atlas Perspective] Profiled as an Institution with the role of Funder. Adani's cultural support is secondary to its core development mission; specific cultural funding should be verified against the Foundation's own communications.
