About DLF Foundation
DLF Foundation was established in 2008 as the philanthropic arm of the DLF Group. Our vision is to transform communities we work with through high-impact interventions in spheres of education, environment, healthcare, social sustainability, and sports promotion with the resolve of enabling a better quality of life backed by sustainable ecosystems for all stakeholders within the immediate and extended communities.
We accomplish these through the creation of customized programmes and innovative institutions that address India’s current development challenges and by providing a platform for the foundation to collaborate with other institutions, professionals, and subject matter experts to deliver sustained, magnified impact across communities of interest.
Adopting a comprehensive approach followed by strategic partnerships, DLF Foundation aspires to create an inclusive and sustainable ecosystem for all stakeholders within the communities.
Areas of Work
Education: DLF Foundation is committed to driving excellence along with inclusivity in education, helping shape the next generation of India. DLF Foundation’s flagship education programme 'DLF CARES' was established with the premise that every child has the right to quality education and the primary objective is to nurture and handhold them to realize their potential and become productive and responsible citizens of tomorrow.
Environment: : Environment initiatives are a vital component of our commitment to environmental sustainability at DLF Foundation. We understand the importance of creating sustainable ecosystems for community development and our society's overall progress. With this in mind, we actively engage in various plantation and greening initiatives in partnership with the government. Our efforts aim to lower carbon emissions, enhance biodiversity, and improve air quality, thereby contributing to a sustainable environment for the larger public good and the well-being of future generations.
By prioritizing sustainable cities and actively participating in environmental initiatives, DLF Foundation strives to foster a greener and healthier world for all.
Healthcare: Healthcare is a crucial area of intervention for the DLF Foundation and DLF Foundation’s Healthcare interventions are designed with the commitment to enhance the access to quality healthcare services for the underprivileged and marginalized. With an inclusive approach, we identify the need in our communities and design the intervention to address the root causes of healthcare challenges at individual, community, and systemic levels. Through strategic partnerships with healthcare organizations, government entities and hospitals, we strive to curate Healthcare initiatives replicable and impactful.
DLF Foundation’s commitment to healthcare also extends to animal welfare. DLF Foundation supports the Pasha wing at CGS Veterinary Hospital in providing free healthcare to stray animals and through community outreach programs.
Social Sustainability: DLF Foundation has been committed to the cause of social responsibility and contribution to the sustainable development of communities for a larger impact on society. With this intent, the Foundation has been working on a number of Social Welfare projects aimed at diversity, and inclusion in collaboration mode.
Additionally, in times of crisis, DLF Foundation has always stepped up to assist affected communities. During the first wave of Covid-19 in 2020, DLF Foundation distributed over 64 lakh meals to those in need.
In the past, DLF Foundation has also significantly contributed to disaster relief for marginalized communities impacted by devastating natural disasters.
Sports Promotion: In addition to academics, DLF Foundation also believes in nurturing the leaders of tomorrow in the field of sports. In line with this vision, the Foundation set up the Golf Excellence Program in partnership with K&A Golf in 2017 to encourage and nurture the next generation of golf champions in India.
