India Philanthropy Forum 2025 | New York City
Following the success of the Dasra Philanthropy Forum (DPF) in New York City last year, we are excited to build on this momentum and host the India Philanthropy Forum (IPF) – on the side-lines of the United Nations General Assembly week this September. Rooted in the ethos of “India for the World, the World for India,” IPF NYC 2025 will convene a dynamic community of philanthropists, foundation leaders, social entrepreneurs, academics, NGO heads, and global development experts to shape a shared vision for inclusive and lasting impact.
