Building Ease of Giving
We are building the foundational digital infrastructure for India’s non-profit sector. Pioneering DPI–DPG initiatives such as India Stack, UPI, and MOSIP have demonstrated how public digital infrastructure can transform ecosystems by strengthening trust, reducing costs, and accelerating scale.
Our mission is to bring this same transformation to the non-profit sector by building a critical infrastructure stack—an interoperable registry, verifiable credentials, consent-based data sharing, and open APIs—that enables seamless collaboration across the philanthropic ecosystem.

Our Story
Over years of working closely with organisations across India’s social sector, certain questions surfaced repeatedly, and never seemed to change. People constantly asked if anyone knew credible non-profits working on a specific cause in a particular geography. Reliable, up-to-date information was hard to find, and trust often had to be rebuilt from scratch.
At the same time, philanthropic capital remained idle for months as donors searched for partners and conducted lengthy due diligence, an effort multiplied across every giver. Non-profits, in turn, spent disproportionate time and resources repeatedly submitting the same documents and organisational information to multiple donors for each new project.
What if this duplication of effort could be eliminated? What if organisational documents, credentials, and due diligence information were available in one place, accessible with a click, while preserving data ownership and consent-based sharing? Imagine the time saved, the faster flow of funds, and the increase in trust if verification were paperless and automated.
That is what we are building: essential digital infrastructure for India’s philanthropic ecosystem to thrive. We are DIPI (Digital Infrastructure for Philanthropy and Impact) Development Foundation, a Section 8 not-for-profit company.
