This doctoral thesis investigates how digital technologies are reshaping philanthropic practices in India, focusing on the rise of micro-philanthropy and crowdfunding as alternative fundraising mechanisms for NGOs. It analyses how these platforms foster intimate connections between donors and recipients, transforming traditional donor-beneficiary dynamics. The study further explores the ethical and operational implications of these technologies, including accessibility, trust, and accountability. Using qualitative case studies, the research provides critical insights into the role of technology in democratizing philanthropy while exposing underlying structural inequalities.
