India Philanthropy Report 2019

This report highlights the strong philanthropic momentum in India, driven by government efforts and civil society participation, especially in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It notes a significant increase in social sector funding, with private philanthropy outpacing public funding growth, despite a slowdown in foreign contributions due to regulatory changes. The report emphasizes the critical need for an additional INR 4.2 lakh crore ($60B) annually to achieve even five of the 17 SDGs, advocating for increased contributions from the private sector and compliance with regulations to boost overall funding.
