DASRA PHILANTHROPY WEEK 2017

27 FEB - 4 MARCH 2017 | MUMBAI

Dasra Philanthropy Week 2017 brought together leading development practitioners, experienced philanthropists and dynamic social entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, debate issues and spark collaborations that accelerate social change.

The week-long events brought together over 400 experts and leaders to strengthen the movement on strategic philanthropy and exchange ideas on giving collaboratively.

LEADING THE STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY MOVEMENT

Accomplished philanthropists, who have developed different yet successful approaches to giving, discussed their paths and offered recommendations on how to make a more meaningful impact.
The panels on collaborations with Archana Chandra (Jai Vakeel), Ashok Bhansali (Bhansali Trust) and Vineet Gupta (Ashoka University) helped showcase the power of creating impact at scale by curating a discussion between leaders in philanthropy who joined hands with other stakeholders to catalyze the impact created on ground. Veteran Philanthropist Anu Aga, highlighted the importance of engaging beyond just funding and encouraged the funders in the audience to also give time and skills while engaging with NGOs, and Rati Forbes, Rishad Premji and Amit Chandra spoke about trends that they have seen over the years in philanthropy.

Over 100 adolescent sector practitioners, funders, experts and government functionaries gathered to learn, engage and debate on what it would take to spark a collaborative movement that enables India’s 250 million adolescents to successfully transition into adulthood and realize their potential.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Kiawah Trust, and Dasra launched the
“10to19: Dasra Adolescents Collaborative” to empower more than five million adolescents in India by 2021.
The new collaborative will reach out to girls and boys between ages 10-19 years and will work directly with adolescents to help girls stay in school; delay their age at marriage; improve awareness about gender-based violence, nutrition, menstrual hygiene, reproductive rights; increase employment opportunities; and improve decision-making skills.
