The study will help the sector as a whole, and the NGOs to access
highly priced professionals for small projects. Thank you for helping!

This is to invite Mumbai based non-profits to participate in a study
on impact of skill-based volunteering by professionals who wish to
support social change with pro-bono work, rather than donations.
The study is being conducted by Drishtant (http://www.drishtant.com/)
- a platform that connects non-profits with socially conscious
professionals. Registered non-profits can post specific, short term
requirements (eg. a women's livelihood group needs fresh designs for
kurtis that they can tailor, or a health service needs behaviour
change communication pamphlets designed...see website for range of
ideas). On seeing their post, professionals interested in supporting
the cause can get in touch with the non-profit directly, and volunteer
their services at no charge (skill-based volunteering).
By participating, your non-profit may be able to secure some
professional services free of cost which may otherwise be an
expenditure item for the organization, as well as gain visibility as
part of a research project intended for publication. There is no fee
for participation in this study, but there is a cap on the number of
projects that will be posted. The study will conclude by July 2012.
If you wish to participate or learn more or share thoughts, please
