Funders Perspectives on Data Maturity of Social Purpose Organisations in India

Funders’ Perspectives on Data Maturity of Social Purpose Organisations in India is an addendum to the State of the Sector Report published by ISDM CDSSI. It explores how funders view data-driven decision-making in India’s social sector. The insights in this report come from a roundtable discussion, that was held with 19 representatives, from CSRs, family foundations, philanthropic investors, outcome-based funders, and thought leaders. It shows that data maturity is a sector-wide challenge that requires collaboration, trust, and alignment between funders, SPOs, governments, and communities.

Although Vedika was overjoyed, she was left overwhelmed by the amount of work she was putting in. Fundraising, curriculum, operations, team building, trauma counselling—she was doing everything alone. There was no advisory board. No formal governance structure. Just urgency, heart, and a mounting emotional toll on her.
