Contributing to the social sector through philanthropy is indeed challenging. It is essential to maximize the community benefits reaped by the time, effort, and resources contributed by philanthropists. CSO Partners provides a range of philanthropic advisory services which assist individuals in the following:

• Identification of individual interest, skills, motivations and resources
• Mapping individual interests and motivations with society needs
• Identification of suitable NGOs, projects, communities for philanthropists’ engagement
• Support in starting an NGO
• Support in mobilizing resources and contributions

• Volunteering your time:  There are many ways you can contribute to the community. CSO Partners can offer opportunities of engagement ranging from starting an awareness campaign in your college/ local community/ office to helping at a community event. Depending on your time and comfort level, we can provide you with the right volunteering opportunity.
• Volunteering your skill: Your specialized set of skills can actively make a difference to someone’s life. For instance your artistic skills could be used to make promotional material for NGOs/ video films for some NGOs, which could be useful in fund-raising activities. We can help skilled professionals find opportunities to work on social development projects with rural and semi-urban NGOs across India.

I am interested in becoming a change agent.
