DREAM GIRL FOUNDATION

What DREAM GIRL FOUNDATION does

Dream Girl Foundation is an India-registered non-profit trust headquartered in Gurgaon, Haryana, that delivers education and healthcare programs to underprivileged children, with a stated focus on girls, across Delhi NCR. Its core operations consist of non-formal education (NFE) centers — currently three locations spanning Gurgaon Sector 9, Gurgaon Sector 57, and Noida Sector 63 — that have cumulatively educated more than 6,000 children since the foundation's inception in 2003 and formal trust registration in 2013. The foundation runs Project Zindagi, a pediatric critical-care funding program that has processed over 40 medical cases in partnership with tertiary hospitals including AIIMS and Sir Ganga Ram, and claims to have supported 80+ life-saving interventions to date.

The foundation is structurally supported by a volunteer ecosystem of 4,500+ registered volunteers (100+ active) and a remote internship program covering roles from teaching assistants to digital content, AI problem-solving, and graphic design. Its regulatory stack is unusually dense for a small NGO: 80G and 12A tax registrations, FCRA clearance for foreign donations, CSR-1 registration with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and listings on NITI Aayog and the Darpan portal — all of which position it to receive institutional CSR grants.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations across four channels: individual small-dollar giving (evidenced by crowdfunding case studies such as a pediatric campaign that raised ₹1.20 lakh from 55+ contributors), per-child sponsorship at approximately ₹500/month, corporate CSR partnerships (named partners include Prometric, Axa XL, Fluor Daniel, Nidec, and FTA HSRP), and now international employee giving via Benevity and YourCause platform listings. The organization operates with a reported 12-27 person staff and is led by founder Pradeep Kumar. No audited financials are publicly disclosed, and revenue scale must be inferred from program metrics and partnership footprint.

Core offering

Dream Girl Foundation is a non-profit NGO that delivers free non-formal education to underprivileged children (primarily girls, ages 3–14) through three education centers in Gurugram and Noida, and funds life-saving medical treatments (chemotherapy, surgeries, bone marrow transplants) by paying hospitals such as AIIMS and Sir Ganga Ram Hospital directly. Operations are sustained through individual donations, corporate CSR contributions, in-kind donations, and a network of 4,500+ volunteers.

Product overview

Dream Girl Foundation is a non-profit NGO founded in 2003, focused on the overall improvement of underprivileged children through two primary service pillars: Non-Formal Education (NFE) Centers and Healthcare Intervention Programs. The organization operates three NFE centers in Gurugram (Sector-9 and Sector-57) and Noida (Sector-63), providing foundational literacy, numeracy, computer education, and life skills to children ages 3–14, primarily from nearby slums. Its healthcare program covers the entire Delhi NCR region, providing medical treatment support through direct hospital payments for children needing surgeries, chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and other life-saving care. These core services are supported by a Volunteer Programs initiative offering both on-site and remote volunteer roles (teaching, computer education, social media, content writing, graphic design, AI problem solving, event management), an Internship & Training Program with virtual and college-compliant projects, a Donation Processing service accepting online/offline monetary donations and in-kind contributions (clothes, toys, stationery, furniture) with 80G tax benefits, and a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Partnership Program enabling companies to sponsor education, fund healthcare cases, and engage employees through volunteering and joy-of-giving campaigns. The organization has recorded 40+ supported medical cases and maintains partnerships with universities (UPES, Amity, Heritage School, Symbiosis, FIIB) and corporate entities (Prometric, Axa XL, Fluor Daniel, Nidec, FTA HSRP).
