The foundation was established in 2003 under a “debt-for-nature-swap provision” made through an agreement signed between the Government of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh and the Government of the United States. Since then, the foundation has provided financial and technical support to various local NGOs to implement more than a hundred projects that contributed to forest restoration, biodiversity conservation, and livelihood improvement of forest-dependent communities to reduce their dependence on forest resources for earning a living. The foundation is registered as a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee under the Bangladesh Companies Act 1994 having no share capital. Arannayk Foundation registered with the NGO Affairs Bureau of Bangladesh in April 2024.
