Creating Social Value in Asia: Philanthropic or Investment Capital?

The Indian Social Sector


Need for High Impact Philanthropy and Non Profits
There are two crucial stakeholders in bringing about social change: social entrepreneurs who deliver change in the field and philanthropists who support entrepreneurs with knowledge, funding, and networks. For real change to happen, we need to not only connect these two groups but also work hands-on to accelerate impact and scale.

Philanthropy
Indias giving in 2006 was $5 billion or 0.6% of GDP versus $300 billion (2.2% of GDP) in US Currently 127,000 millionaires in India; expected to double by 2015 India has the worlds 12th largest HNI population and over 40% want to increase their donations

Non Profits
3.3 million non profits in India, only 500 with budget > $100k and very few reach > 5,000 people Only 30 have a $5 million+ budget Organizations lack managerial skills and focused plans needed to scale Less than 3% measure their impact in a robust manner

Dasra bridges this gap by connecting and enabling both philanthropists and social leaders

Structural challenges such as lack of accountability and awareness causes this capital pool to be under-tapped

Seemingly large sector, but lacks scale, quality and transparency, hence impact and funding is far below potential

As a company limited by guarantee, GoodStart needed 100% debt financing


? return

Private Equity firms raise their equity capital in advance and call on it as needed

~20-30% return

Difficult to determine a rate of return that reflected the social and financial risks and rewards
