Social Entrepreneurship is a relatively newer and less-explored model in the Impact space in India, and hence models for measuring the impact is limited. This report aims to add a model of impact measurement, specific to the Education and Health sector interventions through the assessment of the Fellowships offered by Plustrust.
We analyzed three types of fellowships provided by Plustrust and developed metrics to measure both quantitative and qualitative impact it has had on the society and the women. We have provided inputs into the model, and the evaluation contains insights into how the model has developed over the years.
Further, we have provided recommendations to improve upon the model that can be used by Plustrust and equally importantly, by other not-for-profits that are working on the Social Entrepreneurship model.

‘Micro funding: the potential of individual philanthropy for last-mile changemakers’
It is a study conducted by Plustrust and the Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP) to understand the landscape of philanthropy in India, particularly among individual donors and grassroots organizations working with the last mile communities. These organizations usually operate with annual budgets of up to INR 20 Lakhs and don’t fall on the radar of institutional donors. The report captures insights into donor’s perspective and their expectations. The report highlights ways to build and sustain a “micro-funding’ relationship between donors and changemakers for the future.
The study led to Samvaad – a micro-funding dialogue with an aim to connect donors and changemakers to find each other and engage.
