Frequently Asked Questions

What is Project Elevate?
Project Elevate is an initiative designed to support talented, underprivileged athletes in India by providing them with the resources, coaching, and opportunities they need to reach their potential. Through partnerships with corporates, HNIs, and NGOs, we aim to break down financial barriers and nurture future champions for India.
Project Elevate is dedicated to helping young athletes from underserved communities who have demonstrated potential in sports but lack access to essential resources like training facilities, equipment, coaching, and travel support for competitions.

We offer holistic support that covers various aspects of an athlete’s journey, including:

  • Access to high-quality coaching and training facilities
  • Financial support for travel and accommodation during competitions
  • Equipment and nutrition tailored to their training needs
  • Physical and mental health support for injury rehabilitation and performance enhancement
  • Mentorship and career guidance

Corporates can support Project Elevate through:

  • Sponsoring individual athletes or groups of athletes based on CSR goals.
  • Funding specific needs, such as training equipment or travel expenses.
  • Providing direct donations via online platforms like Milaap or by cheque.
  • Creating mentorship or skill-building programs for athletes. Corporate sponsors will receive tax deduction certificates under Section 80G of the Income Tax Act.

Donations can be made through:

  • Online Funding: Use our secure donation platform on Milaap.
