WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Indiaspora, a leading nonprofit organization, is delighted to co-host this year’s Philanthropy Summit with the India Philanthropy Alliance (IPA). The Summit will bring together visionary philanthropists, foundation leaders, and nonprofit changemakers dedicated to India-focused initiatives. We are honored to host this gathering at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, on October 2nd, Gandhi Jayanti—a date that resonates deeply with our shared commitment to service and positive social impact.
This event is essential for anyone engaged in India-focused philanthropic space. India's philanthropic landscape has reached a critical inflection point. With billions of dollars in charitable giving at stake, donors and nonprofit leaders are increasingly focused on strategic allocation—ensuring resources reach the most effective organizations and initiatives to create transformational impact across the country. This summit emerges from an urgent need to bridge the gap between conventional philanthropy and cutting-edge innovation, bringing together diverse voices to explore whether data-driven insights and human-centered storytelling can coexist to revolutionize giving in India.
“Our mission is to mobilize the global diaspora to be a force for good. This year's Philanthropy Summit convenes visionary development sector leaders, innovative organizations, and strategic philanthropists united in their commitment to building equitable ecosystems where communities can flourish. Indiaspora is deeply committed to bringing together a community that is driven by purpose to tackle the biggest challenges of our times. Through dynamic knowledge exchange and strategic partnership development, we're enabling constructive dialog that will help build and scale solutions across India, the United States and beyond.“- Shoba Viswanathan, EVP & Chief Community Engagement Officer, Indiaspora and Board Member, India Philanthropy Alliance.
