The Philanthropy Commons: Diaspora Leadership in India’s Next Chapter

​As global giving undergoes seismic shifts, the Indian diaspora stands at a crossroads of possibility. While recent cuts in foreign funding may not directly disrupt India’s nonprofit landscape, the regulatory ripple effects are already being felt in key underserved sectors. This makes it an opportune moment to spotlight real stories from the ground—case studies, insights, and emerging trends that reflect both the challenges and the transformative possibilities shaping the sector today; illuminating where philanthropy is most urgently needed.

​This virtual roundtable marks the launch of The Philanthropy Commons — a five-part engagement series curated by GivingPi. It brings together leaders in philanthropy to explore the moment’s risks and opportunities, reimagine their role as catalysts, and lay the groundwork for a more resilient, equitable philanthropic future for India.
