What Genesis Foundation does

Genesis Foundation is a non-profit charitable trust registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882, headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. Founded in 2001 by Prema and Jyoti Sagar following the loss of their second child, Sameer, to a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) in 1983, the organization provides financial assistance for pediatric cardiac treatment — including open-heart surgery, cath-lab interventions, neonatal surgeries, and post-surgery recovery — to underprivileged children aged 0–18 years from families earning ≤ Rs 20,000 per month. As of April 2023, it had supported medical treatment for over 3,500 children, citing a 98% success rate at partner hospitals, with each treatment episode typically costing Rs 2–4 Lakhs.

The foundation has no proprietary technology product; its service delivery runs on a network-based operating model. It maintains partnerships with 47+ cardiac care centers across India (Amrita Institute, Max, Paras, MIOT, Fortis, KIMS, Jupiter, Narayana, Rabindranath Tagore International, and others), an elite Medical Advisory Board of pioneering pediatric cardiologists from India and abroad, and a grassroots screening-camp program spanning 13+ states (Bihar, Jharkhand, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Telangana, Maharashtra, Haryana, Assam, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir, Kerala). Outreach is amplified through volunteer-led fundraising events such as CEO's Got Talent, CEO Cooks for Kids, Walk to Save Little Hearts, the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival, and Music for Life.

Its revenue model is donation-based, with 100% of individual donations directed to children's treatment and all overhead costs personally absorbed by the founder trustees. Funding streams include individual giving, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnerships (with named supporters including CH Robinson and ACRE), institutional grants, international donations enabled by FCRA registration, and event-driven fundraising. The foundation holds Section 12A and Section 80G tax registrations, enabling 50% tax deductions for Indian donors, and distributes impact reporting through annual reports, FCRA reports, and newsletters.
