Zeshan Foundation

Description

Established in 2004, ZeShan Foundation is a privately funded foundation. Building on a legacy of strategic giving, ZeShan adopts a holistic approach towards philanthropy recognizing that long-lasting impact requires more than grant-making. In addition to providing funding, capacity building support, and adopting flexible approach, we mobilize sector building among actors in the non-profit and philanthropic landscape. Our foundation aspires to foster collective learning and collaboration locally and globally, and to put into practice our commitment to propel long-lasting positive change. ZeShan’s philanthropic endeavors are underpinned by three principles: engaged philanthropy, strategic partnership, and lasting impact. Through strategic giving, ZeShan identifies the needs in communities and tackles their root causes through a comprehensive approach. In forming effective partnerships with grant receivers, ZeShan facilitates reciprocity and mutual respect, and encourages dynamic and constructive co-operation with and among its grantees. To maximize the impact of its initiatives, ZeShan creates synergies and leverages opportunities with funders and organizations that are dedicated to the causes that ZeShan supports.
