CSR Partnership Terms and Conditions

To set out the basis on which a company funds a project through Dev's Foundation Trust as its CSR implementing agency.

Key provisions

Dev's Foundation Trust holds MCA CSR Registration Number CSR00073171, which allows it to act as an implementing agency; it does not by itself make every project eligible for every company's CSR policy
Each CSR engagement is governed by its own project agreement and budget, not by a standing blanket arrangement
Funds received for a named CSR project are restricted to that project and accounted for separately
Utilisation reports, supporting evidence and beneficiary outcome data are provided per the agreed milestone schedule
The corporate partner remains responsible for its own CSR reporting obligations under the Companies Act and CSR Rules; this Trust supports that reporting but does not assume it

Escalation

CSR partnership queries go to the CSR Manager, then to the Managing Trustee if unresolved.
