Our partners help us deliver sustainable solutions to poverty and inequality
at the grass roots level
White Lotus Trust engages with partners on many levels. We recognise the philanthropic spirit of funding partners is the life blood of our work and recognise the profound responsibility in being stewards of other peoples money.
Our partnership with community is a driving force for all our work. Community ownership is the key to sustainable change and there's no greater force in development work.
Partnerships with governance allow us to share and utilise already existing resources and policies enabling us to create pilot programs that can be replicated and scaled.
We deeply respect, value and invite all such partners and partnerships as we go forward in humility and open to learning new things and new ways of doing in response to the ever changing world in which we live.
Please feel free to contact us, meet with us and join us in this mission.
Funding Partners
Max India Foundation
MIF’s journey has been characterized by the ethos of Sevabhav and giving with dignity. The vision was to provide quality, affordable and accessible healthcare and make a difference to the lives of the underprivileged community in India. With the Group’s strong presence in healthcare, MIF was able to provide a 360-degree approach towards holistic healthcare.
Dr. Douglas A. Campbell (1929-2008) was born in Canada and after living many years in New York, moved to Los Angeles. He had started his block stock trading company in New York and so opened an office in Los Angeles, the D. A. Campbell Company. Little by little he became interested in South America and was greatly involved in the boom of 1990s. His house in Holmby Hills was a mecca for people from famous stars and producers to well known figures in the investment world. One particular feature of the company was that Douglas always invited professors and experienced hands to give classes to his staff. In this way he was very much into on-going training long before it became fashionable. He had a particular interest in education and in furthering the welfare of those around him.
