Partner with Ananya — From Secondary School to STEM Careers
Every contribution matters — not just the big ones. While the numbers below show the full cost of each intervention, most contributions come together through many people giving what they can. A small donation might fund a part of a device, a day of clean water, or a piece of infrastructure — and when combined, these individual acts create life-changing outcomes.
Whether you give ₹500 or ₹50,000, you're not giving "less" — you're becoming part of something bigger that helps an Ananya stay in school, stay connected, and move closer to a career.
1. Sponsor One Ananya's Digital Future (DIGI Ananya)
| Your Contribution | What It Funds |
|---|---|
| ₹40,000 (~$481) | One engineering-grade laptop — a one-time Year 1 cost |
| ₹40,000 (~$481) | One year of tuition and living-expense scholarship |
| ₹1,19,000 (~$1,258) | Full Year 1 for one student: laptop + scholarship + Cisco certifications + mentoring + screening & reporting |
| ₹79,000 (~$957) | One additional year (Year 2, 3, or 4) — no laptop required, so your rupee goes further |
| ₹40,000 (~$481) | Program & Operations Support (Ananya Team) |
| ₹3,97,000 (~$4,199) | One student's entire 4-year journey — enrolment to graduation, fully funded |
Why it works: the laptop is a one-time cost, so every year after Year 1 costs ~24% less per student — your continued support compounds in impact, not just expense.
Even a small contribution can go a long way in supporting a student’s journey—every step forward matters.

| Complete School Transformation | $66,529/ ₹62,90,000 | Every intervention above, for one school, for one year |
One school. One year. Every student protected from the two biggest causes of dropout — illness and digital exclusion.
No contribution is too small—each one helps improve learning environments for many students.
3. Build a Cohort — Sponsor a Class of Ananya's
For partners who want to commit at scale, here's what a full cohort of DIGI Ananya scholars costs each year:
| Cohort Size | Annual Investment | Per Scholar | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 scholars | ~$155,900 / ~₹1.29 crore | 1,29,000 | Entry-level CSR commitment |
| 500 scholars | ~$779,500 / ~₹6.47 crore | 1,29,400 | Mid-scale, multi-college partnership |
| 5,000 scholars | ~$6.69M / ~₹55.5 crore | 1,11,000 | National-scale, our full annual vision |
*Per-scholar cost drops at scale through bulk procurement and operational efficiencies.
You don't need to fund all 5,000 — our minimum viable cohort is just 100 students, enough to launch a fully resourced, fully reported program from day one.
Whether you support one student or many, every contribution helps build a stronger, empowered cohort.
4. Give Your Time and Expertise, Not Just Funds
Some of our most lasting partnerships — with organizations like Goldman Sachs (India Women in Engineering League) and Cisco (Networking Academy / WISE India) — started with people, not cheques.
- Mentor an Ananya for a year — structured, low-time-commitment guidance
- Lead a STEM masterclass or mock-interview panel — virtual or on campus
- Bring your company's CSR team in for skill-based volunteering, with full SROI documentation for your compliance reporting
5. Offer Corporate Apprenticeships & Internships
Partner with us to create meaningful career pathways for Ananya girls by offering internships or apprenticeship opportunities within your organization. These experiences provide critical real-world exposure, build confidence, and help students transition smoothly from education to employment.
The Ananya team will support end-to-end execution—including candidate preparation, matching, coordination, and ongoing guidance—ensuring a seamless and impactful experience for both students and partners.
6. Become a Founding / Legacy Partner
If you're thinking beyond one year, talk to us about a multi-year or endowment-style commitment that lets Ananya plan, hire, and expand with certainty — sustaining the lifecycle model for the next generation of first-generation Ananyas, not just this year's cohort.
