Mysuru is Karnataka’s second largest city — a place where centuries of history, living traditions, and modern technology blend harmoniously. From its grand palaces and heritage precincts to its thriving cultural communities, Mysuru is a city worth protecting and investing in.
Namma Mysore Foundation® (NMF) is an independent Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) based in Mysuru, dedicated to developing Mysuru’s urban infrastructure and preserving its rich cultural heritage. NMF works through social leadership, community engagement, and policy intervention to create lasting, ground-level impact across the city.

At NMF, volunteers are the backbone of everything we do. Volunteers at Namma Mysore Foundation® carry the organization’s mission within them and bring it to life on the ground. They help implement conservation and infrastructure development initiatives, spread awareness about heritage preservation in Mysuru, and sensitize communities toward the causes that define our era.

As an NMF volunteer, you will:

Participate in field projects focused on Mysuru’s heritage conservation and urban infrastructure
Support community outreach and public awareness campaigns in Mysuru
Contribute to social leadership programs and civic engagement initiatives
Help spread NMF’s message across Mysuru and beyond
Represent civil society in shaping Mysuru’s sustainable future

Namma Mysore Foundation® welcomes volunteers from all backgrounds — students, working professionals, retirees, researchers, and members of the Mysore diaspora living in India or abroad. Whether you are passionate about history, urban planning, community development, environmental sustainability, or cultural heritage, there is a meaningful role for you at NMF.
