Guild members at a foundation gathering

The Foundation

Back the people behind the bar

The India Bartenders' Guild Foundation is a non-profit body. Donations fund scholarships, emergency welfare for members, and training in cities where none exists.

Where it goes

Three funds

Scholarships

Fully funded CPB® certification for bartenders who cannot afford the fee — training, examination and certificate included.

Emergency welfare

Direct support to members facing medical emergencies, injury or sudden loss of livelihood.

Training in new cities

Taking chapter workshops and assessment days to cities that have no formal bartending education at all.

How to give

Talk to the Foundation directly

For donations, CSR partnerships and scholarship sponsorship, write to the Foundation and we will share the account details, receipt process and any tax documentation that applies to your contribution.

  • Individual donations, one-time or recurring
  • Corporate CSR and brand-funded scholarship batches
  • In-kind support: venues, spirits, glassware and bar equipment for training

Bank details are shared on request rather than published, so that every donation is receipted correctly and no one is misled by a copied account number.

Membership fees keep the guild running too — and they give you the card, the library and the chapter network.
