Cosmo People Foundation: A Decade of Community Work in Nashik

Cosmo People Foundation is a Section 8 non-profit company based in Nashik, Maharashtra. It was registered in 2026 and carries forward community work that began in 2016, in health, education, livelihoods, disability inclusion, the environment, and arts and culture.

Where we come from

For ten years, the team behind Cosmo People has worked with communities in Nashik and nearby areas. The work began with awareness drives and community events, and grew into programs that people now know by name. In 2026, that work took a permanent, accountable form as Cosmo People Foundation, a registered Section 8 company whose income can only be used for its charitable objectives.

What we do

We bring the power of filmmaking and media together with grassroots social service. Our work is organised into focus areas that follow the objectives in our Memorandum of Association. Our main programs are:

  • ORGANATION: organ donation and health awareness drives.
  • NES (Nano-Enterprise Support): training and incubation that help youth, women and farmers start small businesses.
  • School Adoption: learning support for children and youth development programs.
  • PRISM: inclusive arts and talent showcases that create equal opportunity for persons with disabilities.
  • GREENOSMO: urban greening and clean rivers.

You can read about each of them on our Initiatives page, and support a specific project through our Campaigns.

The numbers, and what they mean

Since 2016, including work by Cosmo People before the Foundation was registered:

  • 7,200+ people have engaged in our nano-enterprise programs, and 1,200+ nano-enterprises have been impacted.
  • 4,700+ students and youth have engaged in our programs.
  • 237+ organ donation and health awareness drives have been held.
  • 1,200+ community volunteers have joined our work.

We label every figure with the period it covers, because donors and partners deserve numbers they can trust.
