Internship Opportunity at AIP in New Delhi

About Accelerate Indian Philanthropy

AIP aims to be India’s leading organization for spurring private philanthropy to meet India’s  development challenges. India has seen a rapid rise in average wealth over the last decade. In  fact, we are going through a transition similar to the United States in the late 19th/early 20th  century which saw tremendous wealth creation. But individual philanthropic giving lags far  behind in comparison. The majority of philanthropists still face significant headwinds when  giving strategically, such as giving towards the end of their life, giving being a small portion of  their total wealth, and difficulty in finding trusted philanthropic advisors to help them navigate  sectors and organizations. AIP will work with philanthropists in India and with Indian diaspora  to give more, give sooner, and give better. We aim to build an organization that fundamentally  transforms the individual giving landscape in India and contributes to socio-economic  development at a large scale.
