CSR Fundraising Consultant

Solar Village Social Services Project Foundation (SVSSPF)


About us

SVSSPF provides reliable, affordable solar power for underserved schools, clinics, street-lighting, and community resiliency hubs. We operate primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Puerto Rico, with over 110 completed projects and a strong O&M backbone.


Role snapshot

We’re seeking an experienced CSR Fundraising Consultant to run a focused 8–12 week push to source, engage, and convert Indian corporate CSR partners. You’ll own the prospecting engine end-to-end, open doors with CSR decision-makers, align projects to Schedule VII priorities, and drive proposals to signed MoUs/grants.


Key responsibilities


Prospecting & Pipeline

  • Build a curated list of 40–60 CSR prospects aligned to education, healthcare, climate resilience, energy access, and disaster mitigation.
  • Map decision-makers (CSR heads, ESG leads, foundation managers) and develop contact strategies.

Positioning & Outreach

  • Craft crisp outreach copy, capability decks, and one-pagers tailored to each prospect.
  • Secure discovery calls and site-visit opportunities; manage meeting cadence and next steps.

Proposal & Conversion

  • Translate needs assessments into CSR-fit concepts and budgets; draft proposals and MoUs.
  • Align to India CSR policy (Companies Act Section 135, CSR Rules 2014, Schedule VII) and corporate compliance needs.
  • Advise on structures that reduce frictions (e.g., Grant-in-Aid, AUCs, basic GST considerations).

Compliance-aware Delivery Support

  • Coordinate with our India ops team for CA certificates, utilization reports, and impact reporting plans.
  • Set simple KPI frameworks (beneficiaries served, uptime, kWh, O&M plan, carbon mitigation).

Reporting & Targets

  • Maintain a live pipeline with weekly summaries (reach-outs, meetings, proposals, approvals).
  • Hit clear deliverables (see below).


Success metrics / deliverables (for the 8–12 week engagement)

  • 40–60 qualified corporate targets identified and prioritized.
  • 20–30 warm introductions / first meetings secured.
  • 8–12 proposals submitted with prospect-specific budgets and timelines.
  • 3–5 advanced opportunities (legal/finance review or site due diligence).
  • ≥2 signed MoUs / grant commitments (or equivalent, depending on deal size and cycle).


You’ll thrive here if you have

  • 5–8+ years in CSR fundraising / corporate partnerships for nonprofits or social enterprises in India.
  • Demonstrated wins with Indian corporates (CSR Heads/Committees) and a strong network.
  • Hands-on experience aligning projects to Schedule VII; fluency with common CSR diligence asks (company policies, CA certificates, utilization tracking, reporting calendars).
  • Sharp proposal writing, budget sense, and stakeholder management.
  • Organized, data-driven workflow (CRM/pipeline hygiene, weekly reporting).
  • Comfortable collaborating with a lean, field-heavy team; willingness to travel for key meetings/site visits.


Nice to have

  • Sector familiarity: solar/clean energy, healthcare, education, disaster resilience.
  • Experience with large-cap CSR programs, employee engagement add-ons, or multi-year MoUs.
  • Impact measurement know-how (simple baseline/midline/endline or focus-group frameworks).

Engagement details


  • Contract: 2–3 months, extendable based on results.
  • Location: India (remote/hybrid); travel for priority meetings as needed.
  • Compensation: Competitive monthly retainer + performance-based bonus tied to signed MoUs/grants, aligned with our fundraising incentive policy.
  • Start: ASAP.
