CASP -Delhi Unit

What CASP -Delhi Unit does

CASP - Delhi Unit is one of seven regional operating units of Community Aid and Sponsorship Programme (CASP India), a registered Indian non-profit founded in 1975 by Dr. Sharadchandra Gokhale and headquartered in Pune. The Delhi Unit, focused on the Delhi NCR region (notably Madanpur Khadar), supports approximately 400 school-going children per academic session plus 67 children of jail inmates through the Tihar Jail Project, delivering educational sponsorship, NIIT Foundation-certified computer training (53 certified students in the most recent cohort), career guidance, educational excursions (315 students in November–December 2024), and community events. Core service model rests on a Development Promoter (DP) field force that identifies, enrolls, and home-visits sponsored children, preserving CASP's non-institutionalization stance that children remain with their families.

CASP's product surface spans a Child Sponsorship Programme (the anchor product), Community Development Programmes, Bal Panchayat (Children's Parliament), Computer Training and Tailoring Centers, annual Health Camps (dental, eye, general medical) delivered with hospital partners, Educational Excursions, and Career Guidance Sessions. Technology infrastructure is deliberately minimal: a website (caspindia.org) with a Razorpay-powered donation portal, a YouTube channel featuring the 2026 Golden Jubilee short film 'The Couch' and a podcast series, and a LinkedIn page—the organization does not disclose proprietary software, AI/ML capabilities, or mobile applications.

Revenue mechanics are distributed across four streams: (i) recurring child sponsorships at Rs. 7,500 per child per year (≈USD 125 for foreign sponsors, converted at roughly Rs. 83/USD yielding ~Rs. 10,375) with a five-year minimum commitment; (ii) corporate CSR partnerships (Brilliant Polymers, TITAN ASIA, Agiliad Technology, Sumeet Foundation, HCL, LTI) providing financial and in-kind contributions; (iii) government and institutional partnerships (Tihar Jail, UNICEF, Prerana, IAPA, NIIT Foundation, YMCA New Delhi, Jamia Millia Islamia) for programmatic delivery and co-funding; and (iv) international sponsors routed through partner entities such as CASP Sweden. Pricing transparency is partial, pricing is not publicly disclosed, and donations qualify for 50% tax exemption under Section 80G of the Indian Income Tax Act. Customer segments span individual sponsors (Indian and foreign), corporate CSR buyers, government/institutional partners, and the ultimate beneficiaries—economically disadvantaged children aged 3–21 with preference given to girls, orphans, children with disabilities, those with seriously ill parents, single-parent families, and children of jail inmates.

Revenue model

1. Child Sponsorship Program: Individual, corporate, and foreign sponsors contribute Rs. 7,500 (or USD 125) per child per year to support the educational needs of underprivileged children. Sponsors are encouraged to commit for at least five years or until the child completes education. Currency conversions and additional contributions above the standard amount are treated as extra aid for the child's educational needs.
2. Corporate CSR Partnerships: Corporate sponsors (e.g., Brilliant Polymers, TITAN ASIA, Agiliad Technology, Sumeet Foundation) provide donations and in-kind support (computers, water purification tablets, educational kits) through CSR mandates, supporting specific children or program activities.
3. Government and Institutional Partnerships: Government bodies and institutional partners (e.g., Tihar Jail Project for children of inmates, UNICEF, Prerana, IAPA collaborations) provide programmatic and funding support for specialized child welfare initiatives.
4. Balwadi and Scholarship Programs: Balwadi (ages 3–6) receives early childhood support; Scholarships support students aged 18+ through higher education. These represent additional revenue streams through targeted donor contributions.

Direct peers

• CRY (Child Rights and You): CRY is a leading Indian child welfare NGO supporting underprivileged children's education, health, and protection through individual donor and CSR partnerships. Both NGOs emphasize grassroots community work, individual donor relationships, and 80G-tax-exempt contributions in India.
• Plan India (Plan International India): Plan India operates the global Plan International child sponsorship model in India, with similar pairing of individual sponsors to specific children. Both organizations run multi-unit operations across India with school-based educational support and CSR-aligned donor engagement.
• Concern India Foundation: Concern India Foundation raises funds from individuals and corporates and channels them to grassroots NGOs working on child welfare and education. It is comparable to CASP in aggregating Indian CSR and individual contributions toward child-focused grassroots implementation.
• Butterflies NGO India: Butterflies works with street and underprivileged children in India through education, vocational training, and child-led governance (Bal Panchayat model — notably similar to CASP's program of the same name). Both NGOs deliver holistic child development with elements of vocational training and child participation.
• Make-A-Wish Foundation of India: Make-A-Wish India is a child-welfare nonprofit that pairs donors with individual children for sponsored support, similar to CASP's one-child-to-one-sponsor model. Both rely heavily on individual sponsorship, corporate CSR, and storytelling-driven fundraising in the Indian market.
• SOS Children's Villages India: SOS Children's Villages India provides alternative family-based care and child sponsorship for underprivileged and orphaned children across India. Both organizations share a non-institutionalization philosophy, sponsor-to-child linking model, and holistic developmental support framework.

Emerging players

• Pratham Education Foundation: Pratham runs large-scale education programs (including computer literacy 'Pratham Digital') for underprivileged children across India. It overlaps with CASP's NIIT-partnered computer training and education-support model but operates at significantly greater scale and broader geographic reach.

Broad incumbents

• Akshaya Patra Foundation: Akshaya Patra is one of India's largest NGO foundations, serving mid-day meals and holistic education support to underprivileged children at scale. Comparable to CASP in CSR-driven funding model, multi-state Indian operations, and child welfare mission.
• UNICEF India: UNICEF India is a UN-agency incumbent with which CASP actively partners (e.g., 'United for Children' alliance with IAPA and Prerana). Comparable to CASP in child welfare and education focus across India, but operating at vastly larger scale and with governmental reach.
