About Dasra Philanthropy Forum
The Dasra Philanthropy Forum (DPF) is a convening and learning platform to inspire and inform the donor community to take meaningful action on some of India’s most complex and urgent social challenges. The forum is also a unique opportunity to showcase diverse and innovative models for social change in India from nonprofit led solutions occurring at the community-level, to multi-stakeholder collaborations in partnership with the government, thereby involving a wider community that could apply these approaches in a global context.
The forum is based on the Dasra Philanthropy Week in India, which is now in its tenth year, and has built local philanthropic leadership, communities of strategic philanthropists, and increased effective philanthropy on a range of issues in India, including maternal and child health, sanitation, empowerment of adolescent girls, and youth employability. The Dasra Philanthropy Week annually engages 500 philanthropists, multilateral agencies, corporations, and government leaders to build a better India, including leading Indian philanthropists Rohini Nilekani, Rishad Premji, Anu Aga and Nisa Godrej.
