About

About Kuunal Verma

I have spent 28 years helping institutions raise money and use it well.

For more than fifteen years, I led fundraising, marketing and communications for international NGOs. I helped build their fundraising operations in India, for ActionAid, ChildFund and Oxfam.

In 2013 I founded the Centre for Fundraising. Indian institutions needed professional guidance of their own, rooted in India.

Today I advise hospital founders, universities and NGOs on money and management. I also write and speak about India's traditions of giving.
