The entity
Independent by design.
CauseBecause is a public-interest knowledge platform and social-impact practice connecting evidence, institutions and communities.
Identity
One continuum of inquiry, practice and institution-building.
CauseBecause
The public brand and independent platform for media, research, assessment, communication and cross-sector dialogue.
CauseBecause Foundation
Established to streamline the organisation’s sector-focused and public-interest work.
CauseBecause Institute
A planned home for research, learning, assessment and practitioner dialogue.
Operating philosophy
Independence is a working discipline.
CauseBecause brings funders, programme teams, public institutions and communities into one evidence frame while preserving the distance required to ask difficult questions.
It distinguishes reported activity from verified change, participant perception from attribution, and ambition from demonstrable outcome.
The journey
A practice built through proximity to the sector.
Ranjan Rayna and Padma Pegu establish an independent medium for India’s social sector, bringing journalism and publishing into development practice.
As India’s CSR framework takes shape, CauseBecause carries stakeholder voices into the conversation and launches Coffee for Cause.
The Most Promising Programme Awards evaluate 86 nominations aligned to all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
RTI-led inquiry and sustained advocacy keep independent impact assessment on the CSR agenda.
CauseBecause Foundation is established to streamline sector-focused work.
The Young Earth Heroes pilot engages 10 schools and more than 1,200 students.
Awards assessment deepens alongside the fourth Young Earth Heroes meetup and preparation for Coffee for Cause Edition 11.
Planned: CauseBecause Institute, a dedicated platform for research, learning and practitioner dialogue.
