About Us

Alternative Foundation is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Social Welfare Council (SWC) and annually granted by the Government of Nepal. The Alternative Foundation has emerged as a collaborative platform of social activists, scholars, and practitioners committed to social transformation through science, nature conservation, and human development. Registered in 2020 and headquartered in Kathmandu, it functions as an independent, non-partisan think tank that promotes inclusive and sustainable development through research, innovation, capacity building, and policy advocacy with the motto "Think alternative! Do alternative!!" We work across thematic areas: nature conservation and climate change, good governance, justice, and equity, closely aligned with Nepal’s 16th Five-Year Plan, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the country’s LDC graduation process. This platform is focused on fostering discourse, generating innovative ideas, sharing knowledge, and providing actionable insights to guide Nepal’s development trajectory.
