Vision

Catalyze women’s leadership to empower women and girls in India by harnessing the collective strength and influence of the philanthropic ecosystem, social sector and businesses

Guiding framework

Ongoing cuts in bilateral, multilateral, and philanthropic funding are drastically shrinking an already limited funding landscape for gender equity. WomenLead India Alliance’s approach builds on Dasra’s expertise – cultivated over decades of experience alongside partners – to catalyze Women’s Leadership and ensure more gender-responsive giving that is truly able to Fund Her Future.
