Understanding Giving Behaviors of Professionals in India

Strategic Philanthropy

Feb 2025

Dasra, in collaboration with SVP India, conducted a pioneering research study examining the philanthropic motivations and behaviors of professionals in India. Inspired by similar research by Stanford PACS in the U.S., this study explores two key questions: What influences the giving patterns of professionals? How do they engage in philanthropy? Through first-hand insights from professional givers, the study provides insights into the factors that influence motivations, giving approaches, challenges, and opportunities that shape the philanthropy of professionals.
