Mumbai: Over 600
leaders from different spheres will come together from Feb 28 to
discuss social problems faced by the country and how these can be
addressed through strategic philanthropy.
"India's social sector is witnessing rapid transformation with
both philanthropy and entrepreneurship increasing in size and
impact. We are witnessing innovative models in funding,
organisational structures and delivery mechanisms than ever
before," said Deval Sanghavi, co-founder of Dasra, a philanthropy
foundation organising the event.
"With multiple stakeholders playing more active roles in the
sector, collective action needs to be built to ensure maximum
lives are impacted in the most effective way possible," he added.
The week-long event will kick off with a workshop for 48 social
entrepreneurs, part of the Dasra Social Impact, an executive
education programme.
Over the course of the workshop, leaders of these high impact
organisations will build multiple skills to create robust growth
plans which they will present to grant makers and investors for
potential funding and support.
In addition to bringing entrepreneurs, philanthropists and funders
on a common platform March 5, leading family and corporate
foundations like the Piramal Foundation, Edelgive Foundation,
Kiawah Trust and others will discuss the need for collaboration.
The high impact week will conclude with Dasra's signature event,
the Indian Philanthropy Forum (IPF) March 6. The event, that Dasra
has been successfully running since for the past three years, will
see a high profile gathering of over 200 leading philanthropists
and business leaders.
Issues such as human trafficking, promoting sports for youth
development and collaborative giving will be discussed.
