Built on Purpose, Driven by Impact

CG Foundation was established with a singular conviction: that sustainable farming is not a luxury but a necessity for India's cotton belt. Over 25 years we have grown from a small field programme into the country's most trusted platform for sustainable cotton.

We are a membership-based non-profit, governed by a multi-stakeholder council and funded by programme fees, corporate partnerships, CSR contributions and international grants — ensuring accountability to farmers first.
