  • Source : Jstor
  • 1 January 1970
Arevalo and Aravind analyze CSR as understood and implemented by leading Indian firms participating in the UN Global Compact.

They highlight moral or caring motives as the primary driver, followed by strategic profit-oriented incentives. The greatest barrier is resource scarcity, followed by structural and implementation complexities.

This article explores how modern philanthropic organizations influence the development of global civic infrastructure, particularly in emerging economies. It evaluates strategic funding patterns, noting a trend toward large-scale, outcome‑driven projects rather than grassroots efforts. By comparing models of traditional community-based philanthropy with contemporary grantmaking approaches, the study critiques the shift toward measurable metrics and public–private partnerships. It argues that while institutional philanthropy can catalyze systemic innovation, it often undervalues localized knowledge and equity concerns. The article calls for balanced frameworks that combine efficacy-focused strategies with inclusive, context-sensitive engagement to support sustainable and just civic development.
