In FY 2024–25, Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) and its charitable arm, Reliance Foundation, spent a record Rs. 2,156 crore on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects, making them the nation’s biggest private donors to social development. A significant amount of this CSR investment was made through prestigious NGOs, charity trusts, and foundations that carry out high-impact initiatives in the fields of education, healthcare, sports, rural transformation, and environmental sustainability, according to the company’s most recent annual report. These organisations, which the Reliance Group founded or supports, have grown to be important collaborators in India’s development process, carrying out initiatives that benefit millions of people nationwide.

These NGOs include:

• Reliance Foundation, Vividh Kridakhel Foundation
• Jamnaben Hirachand Ambani Foundation
• Vividh Hunarvikas Foundation
• Reliance Foundation Hospital Trust (Sir HN Reliance Hospital)
• Reliance Foundation Youth Sports
• Sir Hurkisondas Nurrotumdas Hospital & Research Centre

The Reliance Foundation, the company’s principal charitable arm, is at the centre of RIL’s social outreach and was awarded Rs. 180 crore in FY 2024–2025. Working in the fields of education, healthcare, rural development, sports, women’s empowerment, and disaster response, the Reliance Foundation has influenced the lives of nearly 8.6 crore people in India since its founding in 2010.

The Reliance Foundation, led by Nita M. Ambani, has grown to be one of the biggest private charitable institutions in India, spearheading initiatives that improve impoverished areas and fortify the country’s social infrastructure. The Reliance Foundation keeps making scalable and long-lasting humanitarian impact through these NGOs. Its initiatives, which emphasise universal access to education, high-quality healthcare, environmental restoration, and youth empowerment via sports, are in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN.

Millions of students and young people have been empowered by the Reliance Foundation’s education and skill projects, while its extensive rural development programmes have improved livelihoods in 20,000 villages. During floods, cyclones, and pandemics, its health and disaster response efforts have saved lives, demonstrating the adaptability and breadth of India’s corporate philanthropy model.
