The next phases of this research – Navigation & Journeys and The Destination – will build on this analysis to examine what shapes funding decisions, how approaches differ, and where opportunities exist to better align capital with the work it seeks to support.

Gender Sector Sizing Model

The model is being designed to address a persistent gap in how gender funding is tracked in India: current estimates typically put it at under 1% of philanthropic capital, a figure that likely understates the real picture because it only captures funding explicitly labeled "gender." This model adopts a supply-side approach to estimate the fuller share of Indian philanthropic capital that contributes to gender equity.

Navigation, Journeys, and the Destination

We will also map the journeys of a selected set of NGOs and funders to understand how gender-focused work is enabled, funded, and sustained. For NGOs, the case studies will focus on what has enabled them to scale and secure funding over time, as well as what hasn’t worked. For funders, the journeys examine motivations, barriers, and evolving giving approaches across archetypes such as men as allies, women philanthropists, multigenerational families, allied-sector actors, and large corporates, among others. We will also articulate forward-looking directions for how philanthropic capital can be deployed to maximize gender impact. This includes identifying where funding should be prioritized to drive the greatest outcomes and how strategic, well targeted investments can be catalytic.
