The Complexity of Giving
The core practices and nuances of philanthropy require one to combine the head and the heart. The sheer scope of social issues in India, the variety of non-profit organisations, and the constantly changing regulatory landscape result in an extremely complex giving environment.
Strategic Philanthropy & CSR
Although charity has always been part of India’s culture, result-based philanthropy/ CSR is more – it must be highly intentional to solve social and environmental issues one is passionate about. Waterfield’s strategic approach ensures that your wealth and profits are committed to a well-charted mission with measurable outcomes.
