With over INR 1.84 lakh crores spent over the last 9 years, CSR funding has emerged as a significant source of development finance. Reflecting the transforming corporate philanthropy landscape in India, 360 ONE Foundation, in collaboration with Sattva Consulting and Nishith Desai Associates, is pleased to announce the launch of a new toolkit: “Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Evolving from Traditional Grant Giving to Blended Finance & Outcome Based Funding.”
Using case studies from 360 ONE Foundation, the toolkit offers a concise, practical guide with actionable insights to evolve CSR strategies from one-time grants to more catalytic, outcome-oriented models that are powered by Blended Finance (BF) and Outcome Based Funding (OBF) for exponential impact.
These financing instruments mark a shift from traditional funding linked to inputs, activities, or output milestones to a stronger focus on performance and verified, measurable impact outcomes.
