Job Opportunity for Brand & Communications Manager at AIP in New Delhi

Job Title

Brand & Communications Manager, AIP

About Accelerate Indian Philanthropy (AIP)

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. However 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 the 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.
