Welcome to the India Fundraising Conference (IFRC) 2024! ILSS is partnering with Resource Alliance to bring you a global perspective on the latest fundraising trends and best practices. Our vision is to host a conference that celebrates fundraising as the driving force behind social impact and recognises the invaluable role that fundraisers play as true changemakers. The IFRC is a unique platform for fostering innovation, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing within the fundraising community. Through masterclasses led by renowned international experts, we aim to strengthen connections, build dialogue, and empower participants to embrace the latest trends in fundraising. Join us as we collectively amplify our efforts towards social change.
