Become a funding partner
Fund the work. See where it lands.
We train final-year students for real careers, place them, and report where they land. Back a program measured on placements, cohort by cohort, and built to account for them.
Why fund TQC
A program your board can stand behind
1.
Measured on placements, tracked by cohort
We measure ourselves on how many students get placed, not how many finish a course, and we track it cohort by cohort. That is the number a board asks for, and the one we report against.
2.
Eligible for CSR, and tax-deductible
The Quest Center operates under ASTS Foundation, a Section 8 non-profit registered since 2023. It holds an 80G certificate, so donations qualify for tax deduction, and a CSR eligibility certificate, so corporate CSR funds can be routed to it cleanly.
3.
Funds go to delivery, and come back as outcomes
Money is directed to training and placement, and reported against results, not activity. TQC has already received and managed institutional funding and run paid delivery partnerships, so there is a track record of handling funds and reporting on them.
The partnership
What your funding does, and what comes back
What your funding delivers
Your funding runs the program end to end: training on a partner campus, coaching, and the placement process that gets students into real jobs. We deliver it, track every placement, and report it back cohort by cohort.
Funding partners back the whole path, from training to placement. On our current record, roughly two in three certified graduates are placed in real careers, and you see the record for every one.
What you get back
Back a program, and you get its full record back in writing: who was trained, who was placed, and where.
- At the start: who the students are, which campus and track, and the placement target we're working to.
- Midway: a short progress note, attendance and training milestones, and any student we've flagged for extra support.
- At the close: the placement report, how many certified, how many placed, into which roles and companies, counted the same way we report publicly.
Every figure reconciles to the public record on our Outcomes page, so your board sees the same numbers anyone can.
Common questions
What funders ask before they commit
Are donations tax-deductible, and can we route CSR funds here?
Yes to both. The Quest Center operates under ASTS Foundation, a Section 8 non-profit with 80G certification, so donations qualify for tax deduction, and a CSR eligibility certificate, so corporate CSR funds can be directed to it under Schedule VII. The full governance record is on our About Us page
Can we fund a specific track, campus, or region?
Yes. Funding can be directed to a particular program, a particular partner campus, or a state where you already work, and reported back on that basis. If your CSR focus is a specific geography or skill area, tell us and we will show you where it fits.
What exactly do we get back, and when?
A written record for the students you fund: who was trained, who was placed, and where, reported at the close of the cohort and reconciled to the public figures on our Outcomes page.
What happens to the students who aren't placed?
We stay engaged with every certified graduate, continuing to coach and connect them to openings after the cohort ends. We report placement honestly, cohort by cohort, including the students still working towards a role. A number you can check is worth more than a number that flatters.
Are you an established organisation?
The Quest Center has run cohorts inside partner campuses since 2023 and placed graduates across four states. CSR eligibility is recent, so corporate CSR funding is a new route for us, but the delivery record behind it is not new.
Can we see the program running?
Yes. Funders are welcome to visit a partner campus and see a cohort in session, meet the trainers, and talk to students directly. We would rather you saw the work than took our word for it. Once we understand your timing, we will arrange a visit to a site that fits.
Can foreign organisations contribute?
Not yet. The Quest Center can receive Indian corporate CSR funding and domestic donations today, but it is not currently registered under FCRA, which is what Indian law requires before an organisation can accept foreign contributions. FCRA registration is on our roadmap. If you are an international funder, talk to us and we will tell you plainly where things stand and what is possible now.
