India Philanthropy Alliance Association

Youth essay competition - ipa introduced the youth essay competition as a catalyst to foster philanthropic thinking and action among youth. This is an opportunity for ipa to engage and channel bright young minds towards social and charitable causes, and to generate new and vibrant ideas to address issues related to india's social and economic development. In their essays, students select the issue they believe to be most important to define ways we can all be part of the solution, as mahatma gandhi advocates. The winners are invited to present at a national gathering of business leaders, philanthropists, and nonprofit executives at a high-impact philanthropy summit held in the fall. They are also invited to direct a grant to the charity of their choice.

Non-profit capacity building - ipa facilitates nonprofit capacity building through various tools and resources for board members, staff, or volunteers from its network of nonprofit, philanthropic, and charitable organizations dedicated to mobilizing people and funding in the united states (and elsewhere) to foster development in india. These might be leadership meetings, annual retreats, training webinars, and town halls on issues of common interest to leaders. We also organize webinars as part of our "critical dialogues" series on topics of interest to the community. The ipa also provides best practice guidelines on youth engagement and offers customized guidance and coaching to support network organizations to build and strengthen capacity in fundraising and management.

Public education, youth engagement, & technology for development - ipa's technology in development group enables nonprofits to work collaboratively to leverage technology, dpi (digital public infrastructure) and ai for high quality programs and services in india.
