London 2023

India Philanthropy Forum 2023

India for the world, The world for India
13th November 2023 | London, UK

The India Philanthropy Forum (IPF) is an exclusive platform aiming to build and nurture an India – UK social impact corridor as a powerful force leveraging the strengths and collective intelligence across both regions. The Forum will understand and accelerate philanthropic efforts to drive lasting and inclusive impact in India by creating a robust and enabling environment for philanthropy to thrive. A platform where compassion meets action and collaborative efforts take center-stage.

Join us for the inaugural edition of IPF 2023 in London, as we bring together for the first-time, ecosystem organizations in the UK with an India focus, under one roof to exchange ideas and further inspire action towards social impact in India.

This 1-day Forum will foster dialogue, share knowledge and provide networking opportunities to engage the philanthropic community across both regions further.

We will bring together philanthropists, social sector leaders, funders, policymakers, intermediary agencies, academicians & specialists for meaningful dialogue and discussion to learn, engage and take collaborative action. Our event aims to embrace the GEDI (Gender, Equity Diversity & Inclusion) principles across all aspects of the forum.
