Corporate Social Responsibility at STAIRS: A Game-Changer in Youth Development Through Sports
At STAIRS Foundation, a recognised National Sports Promotion Organisation (NSPO) we have transcended the common plateau of "What's Next" in sports programs, transforming initial enthusiasm into sustained, impactful engagement. Our innovative approach is anchored in the proprietary Sports Funnel model, a meticulously designed framework for identifying and nurturing emerging talent in the sporting world. This model ensures that all stakeholders—not just athletes but also coaches, communities, and partners—have a clear sense of their roles, rights, and responsibilities, fostering a culture of belonging, space, and constructive competition.
Our CSR initiatives are not just programs but ecosystems designed to support continuous growth and development. STAIRS is committed to ethical practices and inclusive growth; hence we welcome partnerships with corporations and individuals who are legally operating in India and are not associated with the alcohol, tobacco, or gambling industries.
