A charity that never has to ask.
Manee Foundation began in 2024 with an uncomfortable observation: the most fragile thing about most charitable work is the fundraising it depends on. Campaigns end, donors move on, and the shelter still needs feeding.
So we built the funding in first. A permanent equity stake and a dedicated business wing pay for the work — forever. What we owe the public isn't an appeal for money; it's a complete, ongoing account of how ours is spent.
Registered Section 8 companyIncorporated under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013 — profits can only be applied to our charitable objects, never distributed.
