How Wingify Foundation came into being?
Wingify Foundation is the CSR arm of Wingify Software Private Limited, where we unite a community of conscientious citizens determined to ensure environment sustainability and combat air pollution and climate change under a common umbrella Wingify.Earth. Corporate Social Responsibility ('CSR') is an integral part of Wingify’s framework for sustainable development.
The Company’s approach towards sustainable development focuses on the triple bottom line of Economic, Environmental, and social performance. Since 2015, our journey has evolved into a sustained fight against the Climate crisis.
Why Did We Choose Environment Sustainability?
Local Perspective, Global Implications
As Delhiites, we understand the intricacies of air pollution intimately. Living in a city with the dubious distinction of being the World’s most polluted city, grapples every day with air quality challenges. This localised perspective allows us to grasp the nuanced intricacies of the problem, leading us to more effective and targeted solutions.
Our Guiding Principles Under Wingify Earth
We want to ensure a leverage impact meaning getting the maximum benefit from the minimal resources i.e., money, time and effort. To get such an impact we decided to use ICT and social media besides leveraging and combining the following:
Partnering – utilizing strengths of influential partners with large networks, government officials and policymakers to build and sustain networks and build momentum using modern social media tools.
Resources – material and social sciences to spread awareness about causes, effects and solutions for climate change.
Domains – combining elements from education, women empowerment, public health and environment sustainability under a single project.
What Questions We Ask Our Partners While Evaluating Their Funding Proposals?
- What problems you are trying to solve?
- What needs to change if the problem is to be solved, and why?
- How do you plan to make change happen?
- What can you do to solve the problem?
- What actions are you going to take to achieve these goals? What resources will you need?
- What results do you want to see?
- How will you know when you have achieved our short, medium and long-term goals?
- What will be different about the original problem at the end of the project, if you are successful?
- How can you measure progress?
- How will you know if you are on the right track?
- What signs, milestones, or ‘indicators’ should you be looking for?
What Questions We Ask Ourselves Before Funding a Project Proposal?

How many people benefit and by how much? – more people and more benefits are better. Are we saving lives or improving lives? – Saving many lives gets priority over improving life otherwise improving life remains a working principle.

Is what we are doing the most effective thing that we can do? - This means spending the same amount of time and money on projects that provide better use vis-à-vis alternate projects shall get the preference.
Is the project area we are entering into neglected? – out of village v/s cities; government schools v/s private schools; the first one shall get the priority.
If we decline this project, what will be the impact? What truly matters is not who does good, but the net positive change achieved by our actions versus what would naturally occur.

We'll assess the likelihood of success and the potential rewards. We'll calculate the financial impact of different project outcomes and multiply them by their probabilities. We aim for the highest possible gain.
