Public Cause Research Foundation was established on 19 December 2006 by Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia
and Abhinandan Sekhri. Kejriwal donated the prize money he had received from the Ramon Magsaysay Award
as a seed fund.[1]
PCRF was registered under section 80G and 12A of Income tax Act.[2]

In 2009, and 2010, PCRF and the Hindustan Times jointly recognised the efforts of several people who had
contributed to protecting the right to freedom of information.[3]
There have been no awards since 2010 and, as of 2014, the organisation is no longer listed as an NGO.[4][5] Its
last published accounts were for 2011-2012.[6]
