ADAPT is founded on the core principles of service delivery and not for profit ideology. All services were provided free or at no cost to all beneficiaries. This was an excursion into the virgin territory of people with disability and their needs which were invisible to the government and society. None should be deprived of services, was the mantra.
For forty years our financial management rested on a charity framework, but with the massive growth, came the need to move towards a more sustainable financial model. This definitely led to volatile times, but innovative planning led to stability and growth. Stable revenues were achieved by diversification. Grants, sponsorships and investments formed a smart strategy.
It is a recognition of our quality of work that the Government of India included SSI amongst the first batch of sanitised NGOs eligible for CSR funding.
