WHAT DO YOU STAND TO GAIN?

Do you really need to ask us this question? The 300M is the answer to your question of being the change you always wanted to see, and be. 

  • Having said the above, we would be happy to support you with brand visibility on our site, which receives large traction. 
  • For social media and media support, your brand will receive visibility on all respective communication creatives. 
  • You will have access to our GEEK (Gender, Earth, Equity and Kindness) Library. The GEEK library has 108 books and these books have helped children reach grade level learning, are critically acclaimed and accompanied with illustrations; the stories are collected from centuries of literature.  The GEEK library corresponds to the reading level and maturity of the child. The books are also empowered with TADAA! (Think, Ask, Discuss, Act and Achieve) that encourage children to become dynamic problem-solvers, thereby empowering them. The linkage to existing NCERT syllabus can also be established, ensuring a holistic approach, and, thereby, the creation of Reader-Leaders. Audio and video formats for certain books are also available. Most books are available in English and Hindi. 
  • We recognize that teachers, facilitators and volunteers will be playing a pivotal role in making this program successful. In order to make their experience enriching and fruitful, we will conduct a step 1 hand-holding workshop. Of course, if you ever need support, we are there for you to the best of our capacities. 
  • Certification and felicitation, where possible. 
  • Publicity on our social media platforms (select outputs).  
  • Publicity during specific media campaigns (select)
  • Special discounts on our books (depending on the level of partnership).
  • Special Katha Utsav participation (discounted) coupons.

The above does not apply to fundraising partners. 

We are cognizant of the fact that communities are diverse with different needs and mindsets. We would love to leave room for lots of brainstorming to “customize” the 300M Challenge based on your suggestions, so that we can work smoothly and efficiently for achieving the greater good.
