Who We Are

Cosmo Foundation was established in 2008 as the philanthropic arm of Cosmo First Limited to spearhead the company’s CSR initiatives. We believe that “we can make a difference to the lesser privileged ones” by strengthening mainstream education, environmental sustainability, and empowering women and communities. We started our journey by collaborating with government schools located near the Manufacturing facilities of Cosmo First Limited in Vadodara and Aurangabad to empower rural students with supplementary educational programs. Over a period of time, we have extended our initiatives on environmental sustainability, women’s empowerment, scholarship, and mentorship for girls.
Since inception, we have positively impacted 7,00,000 beneficiaries across 152 villages in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Delhi-NCR, Himachal Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. Our transformative journey began in 2008 in Gujarat, expanded to Aurangabad Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar in 2016, reached Delhi-NCR in 2019, and further extended to Himachal Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, progressing from education to environment and ﬁnally to empowerment, our unwavering commitment to prioritizing health and hygiene remains central.
We also support the community in the occurrence of unforeseen & unfortunate incidents by working on the ﬁeld and providing immediate relief to the people in need. For instance, when the COVID-19 pandemic imposed extended periods of lockdown, we supported the adversely affected sections with the large-scale distribution of food, Grocery kit, medical equipment, and health-hygiene kits. We have done relief distribution during chilled winter and flash floods.
