Dasra

Founded in 1999 as a venture philanthropy fund supporting early-stage nonprofits, Dasra has evolved over the years from connecting NGOs and funders to becoming a leading systems orchestrator in India’s social impact ecosystem.

Today, Dasra brings together funders, nonprofits, governments, and communities to amplify grassroots voices and enable community-led change. We strengthen organizational capacity, nurture leadership, and build philanthropy’s infrastructure to unlock knowledge, resources, and capital. Through collaborative action, we co-create solutions that shift systems and advance India toward a more equitable future. To learn more about who we are and our journey in the sector.
