Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foundation (CWCF) is a unique, socially meaningful initiative, living proof of the maxim that the sum is often greater than the parts, when business leaders and captains of industry decide to make common cause for the greater good of society.

CWCF strives to optimise the resources at its command, resources made possible by the sale of an iconic institution of Chennai, The Lady Willingdon Hospital. The organisation was named Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foundation (CWCF) to preserve the association with Willingdon Hospital.
