DASRA PHILANTHROPY WEEK 2018

20-24 FEB 2018 | NEW DELHI | MUMBAI

The Dasra Philanthropy Week 2018 brought together over 350+ philanthropists, NGOs, government, foundations, corporates, and development sector experts to discuss India’s critical development challenges, share learnings, and foster collaboration to accelerate social change.

Dasra launched a new initiative: ‘ImpactFirst - Prioritizing Lives in Philanthropy’ to achieve Sustainable Development goals by 2030.

"For us, ImpactFirst encompasses putting the interest of society as a whole in front of your own personal aspirations. Whether you are an NGO, funder, or the government - push the conversation, push the agenda, and push for us to be able to hold ourselves accountable. Keep asking yourself - how much am I actually changing lives?"
