The purpose of the Donor Management Team is to build a sustainable fundraising ecosystem that helps the Foundation to deliver comprehensive impact, by raising repeatable grants from like-minded partners with whom we can co-create solutions for nation-building, seeded by the promise of efficient implementation and best-in-class governance.
Like-minded donors/channels are entities who are committed to India for the long haul, can fund reliably and repeatably in size, and are selective on who they will fund in India. Co-creating solutions imply identifying which part(s) of our work will appeal to which donor and crafting an investment opportunity customized to a donor or a channel.
