#ifrc2026

Explore The Fundraisers’ Network (TFN) —India’s first-of-its-kind, comprehensive platform for fundraising professionals — unlocking capital, capacity, and community to catalyse social impact. From funding opportunities and jobs to expert insights, events, and peer connections, TFN is building the future of fundraising in the social impact ecosystem.

The Keynote Address at #IFRC2026 by Aditya Natraj, CEO, Piramal Foundation, set a powerful tone for the conference, offering deep reflections on fundraising leadership, systems change, and building impact that lasts. Tracing India’s fundraising roots back to Mahatma Gandhi, Aditya explored the evolution of nonprofits — from innovators and demonstrators to scalers and category definers — and the leadership shifts required at each stage of growth. He emphasised that meaningful change is rarely linear and demands patience, partnership, and long-term investments in people and processes. At its core, the address highlights that true fundraising transformation begins with the inner game — a mindset shift that reshapes how donors perceive, trust, and commit to organisations. Recorded at the India Fundraising Conference (IFRC) 2026.

What does it truly take to drive large-scale, long-term social change? At the Opening Plenary of #IFRC2026, Ajay Piramal, Chairman, Piramal Group, and Amit Chandra, Co-founder, A.T.E. Chandra Foundation (ATECF), reflect deeply on the evolving role of philanthropy, leadership, and institution-building in India’s social sector. The conversation moves beyond funding to examine the deeper levers of impact: organisational capacity, leadership transformation, collaboration, governance, and staying rooted in on-ground realities. This plenary offers rare insights for funders, SPO leaders, board members, and ecosystem builders committed to shaping a stronger, more resilient social sector in India.
