UNICEF India – Your philanthropy partner

India’s tryst with philanthropy dates back many centuries. India’s culture of giving is deeply engaged in its social consciousness. The intent stemmed from concepts such as dana and dakshina in Hinduism, bhiksha in Buddhism, and zakat in Islam, among others, and helped shape early philanthropy. 

The responsibility towards family, community, and society at large ensures that a sense of duty is maintained to fund those causes that are most personal.

While the tradition of giving in India is old, the emergence of philanthropists and their innovative ways of giving are new. As many of them have grown up from middle-class origins, they can bequeath a large part of their growing wealth to address India’s most urgent needs.

UNICEF – Your Philanthropic Partner

With a presence in India since 1949, UNICEF is a unique organization capable of aligning with India’s national priorities and policy making, to execute programmes on the ground through implementing partners.

A philanthropic partnership with UNICEF ensures your investments will help us take the lead in innovating and implementing new ideas across India’s most pressing fields of endeavour, such as education, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), healthcare and child protection. 

Working with us helps you adopt an informed, structured giving strategy with bold approaches focused on underserved areas. The autonomy to choose your programs of interest for investment, along with our guidance and facilitation, will help you become a seasoned philanthropist.

Being a global Indian with national and global aspirations, a union of your strategic giving plans with our programmes will ensure you develop a philanthropic footprint aligned with your family values. 

It is through this intentional and urgent focus, from successful Indians, that enables us to unlock India’s potential by making it more equitable and resilient, thereby accelerating transformation.
