SNOWLINE  PHILANTHROPY/FOUNDATION

FOUNDATION ROLE & PURPOSE

The Snowline Foundation is the charitable body of the Snowline Consultancy and invites, directs and channels philanthropic investments and donations by individuals and corporations. We connect people with time and resources with people in need. The Snowline Fellowship Network facilitates the collaboration of philanthropists internationally.

 

We channel, oversee and quality assure Snowline Scholarship Grants to individuals in Nepal generated through Snowline Journeys and donations. 

 

Snowline scholarships provide life-changing educational opportunities for young people in Nepal, leverage them out of poverty and social stigma, and empower & enable them to lead socially and economically successful lives. 

Philanthropy today holds new exciting potential as we have access to more tools, capital and proven strategies to confront society’s greatest challenges. In collaboration with our in-country partners, we inspire and realise a new positive vision, reducing poverty and social inequality, by maximising and amplifying the impact of individuals and investments.

This is an exciting time to be active in philanthropy.

Get in touch if you would like to find out how you can contribute and/or get involved.

Snowline philanthropy changes lives.
