Defining Characteristics of IDEAS

Identifying the needs, talents, skills and aspirations of individual and community-driven initiatives

Independent, flexible and bureaucracy-free operations

Interest-free and collateral-free funding support

Promoting sharing of knowledge, expertise, and experience

Empowering less privileged entrepreneurs

What Makes IDEAS Distinctive


  • Many small entrepreneurs have creative business ideas but often lack finances to start ventures or working capital to expand ongoing businesses.
  • Formal lending institutions, and even micro-credit facilities, can remain beyond reach due to collateral demands, guarantor requirements, and high interest rates.
  • This is where IDEAS steps in. We enable less-privileged people to overcome stringent barriers that block entry into the entrepreneurial world.
  • We support budding entrepreneurs through funding, mentoring, and training to help ideas grow into viable businesses and improve livelihoods.
  • We provide grants as well as interest-free and collateral-free loans. The loan component is recovered in monthly installments after an appropriate grace period.
  • IDEAS support is truly no strings attached.

Beyond Philanthropy

  • At IDEAS, we believe that to “Do Good,” an organization must first “Do Well” through legitimate and sustainable avenues. Our financial independence is built on a model that goes beyond traditional donor-driven philanthropy:
  1. Professional Services & Ventures: Income is generated through management fees and dividends from our joint venture consulting company, Infotech IDEAS [Pvt] Ltd.
  2. Strategic Investments: Returns from carefully managed investments strengthen our financial base.
  3. Capital Fund Growth: A steadily expanding capital fund enables annual disbursement support for selected initiatives.
  • By not relying on external donor funding, IDEAS remains free to set priorities aligned with its governing principles—focusing on empowering low-income, less-privileged yet talented individuals with entrepreneurial potential. This approach ensures that our mission is not charity-dependent, but self-sustaining and impact-driven.

What kinds of projects does IDEAS support?

Support is directed toward ventures that create livelihoods, strengthen local economies, and respond to community needs across Sri Lanka.

Micro and small-scale enterprises

By filling gaps in resource availability during its journey spanning the past 25+ years, IDEAS has contributed to the growth of a veritable rainbow of micro- and small-scale enterprises.

Geographically diverse entrepreneurial sectors

It has supported projects related to agriculture, apparel and allied products, food processing, production and manufacture, retail, and distribution.

Community development initiatives

Besides entrepreneurial support, IDEAS maintains a second stream of funding for housing, water and sanitation, basic education, community health, and disaster relief.
