Subject: Application – CSR Fundraising & Partnerships – Mentoria

Include: Your resume + 2–3 lines on why this mission excites you

Why Mentoria Exists:

India is home to the world's largest student population, yet most children, especially the underprivileged, grow up without access to career guidance, mentorship, or role models . The consequences? Dropouts. Underemployment. Lost potential.

For first-generation learners in underserved schools and NGO programs, the problem is even deeper:

  • No one to guide them on career pathways
  • Parents without the exposure to advise them
  • Schools focused on academics, not employability outcomes

This is why UN SDG 4 (Quality Education) is not just about classrooms, it's about enabling young people to transition into meaningful futures. That's the gap Mentoria is filling.

What Mentoria Does:

Mentoria is India's leading career discovery and mentorship platform . Our 4-step guidance model — psychometric assessments → counselling → mentorship → continuous access — has already impacted 3.5+ lakh lives .

In the CSR ecosystem, we work with 17+ NGOs, multiple state governments, and international foundations to:

  • Deliver structured career guidance programs in government and NGO-run schools
  • Provide 1:1 counselling and mentorship for underprivileged youth
  • Track real outcomes through impact dashboards and reports
  • Build systemic adoption of career guidance in education ecosystems

The Next Step: AI-Powered Employability

Career guidance is the foundation. But guidance alone isn't enough in a world being reshaped by AI.

Through Arya: Mentoria's Job Discovery AI Agent stack , we are building solutions that:

  • Help students discover and apply for real jobs suited to their skills and aspirations
  • Provide AI-powered career navigation so underprivileged youth are not left behind
  • Spread AI literacy and readiness to ensure today's students are tomorrow's employable workforce

CSR, foundation, and government partnerships will enable us to take this AI + guidance ecosystem to scale, moving from advisory → employability outcomes .

The Role

As our CSR Fundraising & Partnerships Manager , your primary responsibility is fundraising, raising multi-year funds and grants from CSR leaders, foundations, and government bodies to scale Mentoria's career guidance + employability initiatives for underprivileged students.

This is a role that combines sales, strategy, and nation-building . You will:

  • Own the fundraising pipeline (Y1: 3Cr/6,000 lives transformed, Y2: 6Cr/12,000 lives transformed, Y3: 10CR+/20,000 lives transformed)
  • Build high-value partnerships
  • Secure funding to deliver real impact across India

What You'll Own:

1. Fundraising & Grant Acquisition

  • Raise funds from CSR heads, foundation directors, CHROs, and government stakeholders
  • Develop proposals, decks, RFP responses, and grant applications
  • Own and deliver on fundraising targets

2. Partnership Development

  • Build multi-year partnerships with corporates, NGOs, foundations, and government departments
  • Align programs with SDGs, NEP priorities, and CSR mandates
  • Represent Mentoria at CSR forums and education roundtables

3. Impact Delivery & Reporting

  • Ensure programs funded are delivered with excellence and scale
  • Track outcomes through data dashboards, field visits, and human stories
  • Share clear reports with partners on impact and ROI

4. Strategic Scale

  • Build the playbook to scale Mentoria's impact to 2 crore students
  • Position Mentoria as the leader in career guidance + AI literacy for education
  • Drive ecosystem conversations around employability and future of work for underprivileged youth

Who You Need to Be

  • 5–10 years in CSR fundraising, foundation partnerships, or education-focused grantmaking
  • Proven fundraiser, you've closed ₹20L+ deals, not just managed reporting
  • Strong at proposal writing, pitching, and relationship-building
  • Experience working with education, employability, or youth development projects
  • Entrepreneurial: you thrive in fast-paced, ownership-driven environments
  • Mission-driven: you care about equity, employability, and systemic change
  • Power-AI user , recognising how AI can help in your day-to-day work optimisation and scale

Why This Role Matters

Every partnership you close will help:

  • A first-generation student find clarity in their career path
  • An NGO school equip its children with future-ready guidance
  • A community gain access to AI literacy and employability tools

You're not just raising funds.

You're unlocking career clarity + employment readiness at scale for India's next generation.

Why Join Mentoria

  • Nation-building scale : from 3.5 lakh lives to 2 crore
  • Cross-sector impact : corporates, NGOs, foundations, and governments
