What an answer looks like

A sample, from the base's real fit-score rows
How well does KABIL fit Axis Bank Foundation, and why?
How this answer was made — 4 steps

org:1 is a strong fit for funder:1: 93 out of 100 on rubric v1 score:1.

It scores full marks on sector, geography, target population, grant shape and funder trend. Axis Bank Foundation's Sustainable Livelihoods Programme — natural resources, agriculture, livestock, SHG collectivisation — is a near-exact match to KABIL's core work, and the two already ran a named four-year project in Udalguri, Assam.

Two criteria lost points:

  • Eligibility & compliance, 16 of 20. 12A, 80G and FCRA are confirmed, but KABIL's CSR-1 registration is not on record, and Axis Bank Foundation spends Section 135 CSR money, where CSR-1 is a legal requirement.
  • Relationship, 7 of 10. Lowered from 10 in vetting: the project that began in April 2018 ended around March 2022, so the partnership has lapsed rather than being live. The renewal case is strong — it reached 24,765 families against a target of 15,000.

The v1 score was vetted on 10 Sept 2026 by a single rater; the v2 re-score has not been vetted yet.

Why this match — 7 criteria
  • 25/25Thematic / sector alignment — The Sustainable Livelihoods Programme is a near-exact match to KABIL's core work.
  • 16/20Eligibility & compliance — 12A, 80G and FCRA confirmed; CSR-1 not on record, which a Section 135 funder requires.
  • 15/15Geography — A confirmed, named four-year project in Udalguri, Assam.
  • 15/15Target population — Rural poor households, women, SHGs and tribal communities match the stated target.
  • 7/10Relationship / warmth — Lowered from 10 in vetting: the 2018–22 project has concluded, so the link is recent but not live.
  • 10/10Funding size & type — The earlier grant was multi-year and project-based, matching KABIL's scale and design.
  • 5/5Funder capacity & trend — CSR spend grew about 4.7× in four years: ₹91 cr in FY20-21 to ₹427 cr in FY24-25.
