Change the Game India (CtGI): Indian Arm of Change the Game Academy

Share on:

Change the Game India (CtGI) an India chapter of Change the Game Academy

Many civil society organisations in the Global South depend on foreign funding to do their work. This makes them vulnerable and puts them at risk of working donor-driven. Change the Game India (CtGI), the capacity development programme of Smile Foundation, along with Change the Game Academy (CtGA), aims to end this dependency by supporting autonomous local organisations to strengthen their fundraising capacity.

Raising domestic resources not only enhances financial sustainability, but it also increases community engagement, local ownership and legitimacy of organisations. Additionally, CtGI also trains organisations to mobilise support from like-minded organizations including governments.

To ensure sustainability, CtGI is offering training on two main themes namely; Local Fundraising (LFR) and Mobilizing Support (MS). Change the Game India offers e-learning, in-person classroom courses and individual coaching, by building their capacities, capabilities, resilience and future readiness, through Smile’s s civic driven approach model. 

Capacity Development & Mentoring

CtGI believes in capacity development & mentoring of these grassroots organisations to achieve self-reliance and self-sustainability. This in turn enabling them to address the needs of the civil society. These are achieved by supplementing and complementing the efforts of the government and in line with global development strategies for gaining credibility and support locally.
