Delhi, India

Our Delhi office oversees the foundation’s work in India, which includes partnerships with the central and state governments, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector. We began our work in India a decade ago with an HIV prevention initiative. Since then, our work has expanded to include a wide range of programs in health, agricultural development, sanitation, gender equality, and financial services.

We operate in India as a branch office of a foreign organization, with the permission of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). We disburse all grants worldwide directly from our main office in Seattle, Washington, and we confirm that our Indian grantees are compliant with India's Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) before they receive any funding from us.
