Organizations which received funds from Ford Foundation via FCRA:2006-2012





Organizations Which Have Received Funds from Ford Foundation via FCRA: 2006-2012


Note: This article appeared on IndiaFacts on 17-February-2015. I thank them for hosting it. The current article has Table entries which are hyperlinked to the Organization's FC6 return and hence will be beneficial to people researching the impact of Ford Foundation's remittances to Indian Organizations.

Ford Foundation (FF) is a philanthropic organization headquartered in New York, which provides grants to organizations around the world who can assist it (FF) in its objectives. In India, their goal is “to address persistent poverty by empowering socially marginalized groups and improving government policies”, which they pursue through their office in New Delhi.

Several Indian organizations have received and continue to receive grants from Ford Foundation. Many articles have examined aspects of funding from FF and questioned the need for foreign grants in sociology, law, advocacy and other spheres of activity which are unlikely to benefit from either foreign grants either from FF or other similar organizations. Some of them are here, here, here, here, here.

This writer was motivated to do the following work upon reading a recent article written by a leading Tamil author here and a reply from one of his readers here. Both articles are in Tamil.

One of the handicaps faced by authors of such articles appears to be the lack of comprehensive data. Which Indian Organizations have received funds from Ford Foundation? Or, in general, from a foreign entity? Getting this information is a non-trivial task. One could search for India at http://www.fordfoundation.org/grants/search and obtain some reasonable data, but the information about the specific Indian organization (recipient) is sparse. Can one get the same from the recipient side? The answer is yes, and one can do it through the FCRA database at http://mha1.nic.in/fcra.htm

FCRA, standing for Foreign Contribution (Regulatory) Act enables the channeling of foreign funds to organizations (either Governmental or Non-Governmental) in India. For a brief introduction to FCRA and the magnitude of funds which have come via this route over the last seventeen years, you could read this Post. Indian organizations registered under FCRA are mandated to file an Annual Return with the Ministry of Home Affairs every year, whether they received any funds in that year or not. Such returns are called FC-6 returns.

It is possible, using reverse analyses, to identify all Indian organizations which have received funds from a foreign entity via FCRA. The same was put to effective use in the past, to identify Indian NGOs receiving foreign funds from Operation Mobilisation, Dalit Freedom Network (& related entities). In a similar vein, IndiaFacts carried an article on Indian NGOs receiving funds from Gospel for Asia Inc (& allied entities) in Texas.

The current article is constructed on the same lines, although the magnitude of the work is much larger here. Towards this purpose, about 1.5 lakh of FC-6 returns, spread over 7 years were analysed. Table 2 below provides details of Indian Organizations which have received at least Rs. 1.0 lakh in any of the years 2006 up to 2012 from Ford Foundation, via FCRA.

Caveat:
While I have taken much care to check the veracity of this List, I cannot rule out errors, as the donor name (Ford Foundation, here) in FC6 returns is entered in all possible manners by FCRA-NGOs in their respective FC6 returns. I am willing to get any errors corrected, if pointed out to me. Thank you.

Remarks on the List
  • Amounts mentioned are total funding received by that organization in that year from FF and are rounded off to the nearest lakh. They are hyperlinked to the FC-6 return submitted by that Organization to the Ministry of Home Affairs.
  • Typographical errors, changes in case, format, syntax in the names and addresses of Organizations are intrinsic to the FCRA database and are provided as-is.
  • For 2012, returns available up to February 10, 2015 were analysed. For other years, returns filed up to March 30, 2014 were used.
  • Entries marked NA mean that the FC6 return was not available.
  • This article does not judge either FF or any of the Organizations who have received funds from it. The List has been created so that it can act as a ready-reckoner for people to do their analyses. It will be appreciated if this article is cited when the data provided here is used in any further analyses.
  • Table 2 lists all Organizations which have stated their receipts from FF via FCRA. Thus, although FF claims to have granted some money to a NGO called Kabir, the same is not reflected in this List, as Kabir (whether these two names refer to the same organization is not known in public domain *chuckle*) does not have any FC-6 return other than this sole one filed for the year 2007-2008.
  • NGOs in each State are shown with backgrounds in different colours. Unsurprisingly, Delhi has the largest number of recipients from FF, 93 (Ninety three).
  • The list is an exotic mix. There are many so-called "Dalit" organizations, including a Christian Dalit Liberation Movement, Vellore (S. No. 99). The National Law School of India, Bengaluru, (S. No. 141)too is another recipient whose "grants" from FF have been increasing steadily.
  • A summary of the number of organizations which received non-zero funds from FF & the total amounts received each year are shown in Table 1.

    Sighbaboo,

    Would you please do a blog-article on how the following two international NGOs (amongst others) are trying the escape the FCRA by calling themselves "for-profit corporations" that "export" "research & consulting services" to their foreign counterparts in order to bring in what are really foreign donations in the form of "export earnings" to avoid screening?

    1) Hivos (as for-profit Hivos India Advisory Services Private Limited)
    2) Amnesty International (as for-profit AI India Private Limited)

    For example, go to www(dot)amnesty(dot)org(dot)in and click on the "disclosure" button at the bottom of the page.

    The article there "discloses" as follows:
    (1) In 2009, their office in New Delhi had to close down, partly due to problems with receiving funding from the Amnesty International global movement. This is because the Indian government, on RAW & IB advice, denied them permission to take money for Amnesty Internation in London.
    (2) In 2012, however, they RE-OPENED in Bangalore as a for-profit company, thereby escaping the need for FCRA permissions that they were expressly denied by the government in 2009.

    How does this loop-hole work? They explain it on their website as follows:
    (1) QUOTE: "Like some Amnesty offices in other countries, Amnesty International India operates through two entities – a charitable trust (which is registered under sections 12A and 80G of the Income Tax Act), which carries out our human rights education work and reaches out to members, donors and supporters to help build a broad-based human rights movement; AND a tax-paying private limited company, which provides research consultancy and technological services to other organisations in the social sector."
    2) QUOTE: "The company undertakes human rights research projects, technological product development, etc. on a contractual basis. Although the company has a few smaller NGOs as its clients, its largest client by far is the rest of the Amnesty International movement worldwide. Amnesty International India’s research, campaigning and advocacy work are undertaken by staff employed by the company."

    Note the following points:
    1) AI London gives the Indian company a "for-profit commercial contract" to do "research" and send AI London their "reports"
    2) However, the same Indian company also engages in "advocacy & campaigns". Obviously, it reports the cost of advocacy & campaigning as costs-incurred of the "for-profit research service" it provides it AI in London.

    There are two issues here that need to be investigated:
    (A) International money-laundering via over-invoicing of exports. Please read online about how US security & intelligence agencies are now seriously tracking "trade-based money laundering" and happens precisely through over & under invoicing of imports & exports.
    (B) Overstatement of costs to reduce/eliminate taxable profits. The actual exported item is the "research report", which costs little to develop. The difference between what AI London pays for the "report" and what the report development costs them SHOULD have been their taxable "profit". But they evade this by overstating their costs by adding "advocacy & campgning" and so reducing their "profit" to a negligible amount so as to avoid corporate taxes that must be paid by all for-profit companies.

    Please write a blog-article on this "for-profit corporation" route used by some international non-profit NGOs to bypass India's FCRA security checks and pump money into the country without screening.

    Thank you. Thanks for asking. You can share the link to this Post. You cannot copy it on other platforms (sorry, I don't mean to be rude, just saying what can and what cannot be done).

    Also, please go through other Posts in this Blog. They are all based on public domain information present on Government website. They are all original analyses. Somewhat non-trivial to do. If you have any queries, I shall be happy to answer.
    Thanks & Regards.
