Overview: Non-Governmental Organization Expression of Interest

The Expression of Interest (EOI) is the first stage of the application process for Harit Bharat Fund. For this application, we will ask for basic information about your organization, its past work, and your proposed project. Below you will find a list of each of the application sections and fields, as well as links to dive deeper into each section of the application.

Please note that all of the application questions will be required, except for website and social media links and the fields in the "Additional information" section. Each organization can submit up to 3 expressions of interest, but they must all be different in scope and location.

Note that these questions pertain only to non-governmental organizations (NGOs). For-profit companies should consult this list.
