About the Organization

At Dani Sports Foundation, we engage in grant making, sports development, and social impact initiatives to drive meaningful change through sport. We support grassroots sports-based NGOs through the Chhalaang Fund, strengthen their capacity through fellowships and leadership programs, and develop athletes and coaches through structured training pathways. Our approach focuses on two key areas: Sports for Development and High Performance, enabling us to achieve outcomes such as integration of sports in education, increased access and excellence in sport, sustainable livelihoods, and stronger community ecosystems.

About the Fellowship

The Sports for Transformation Fellowship is a two-year residential program for youth aged 20–25, passionate about using sport as a development tool to create social impact. It provides training, mentorship, and field experience to empower fellows to lead sports-based initiatives that promote inclusion, address community challenges, and drive positive change.

The Sports for Transformation Fellowship teaches in a way that mixes learning in a classroom with real-life experiences. It talks about things like how to run sports events, lead teams, work with people in communities, and make plans for projects that use sports to help people.

The way the program is organized lets the fellows work on actual projects in communities. This way, they can use what they learned and get better at important skills needed for leading sports activities and making communities better

Eligibility

We are looking for youth between the ages of 20-25, who have passion and commitment towards our movement that places every child’s right to play and learn at the heart of what we do.

In order to be eligible for the fellowship, you must be an Indian citizen, and must have graduated with a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree by June/July 2025.
