A circle of trust, connected by a single promise
We are a growing community of over 175 like-minded philanthropists,
connected by a simple, shared commitment: That half or more of what we
have earned or built belongs back in the world.
Commitment shared by our growing community of Promisors
Community in Action
Our growing, diverse community includes Promisors whose net worth ranges from Rs 1 crore to over Rs 100 crore. Over 40% of our Promisors are women. Their age varies widely too, from 28 to 81.
The stories and quotes below capture the community’s heartbeat – candid reflections on living one’s promise. These voices bring to life what it means to align wealth with purpose, intention with action, courage with compassion, and gratitude with generosity.

I dream of an India where access to world-class education is not a privilege for the few, but a right for all. By joining #LivingMyPromise, I want to contribute to building that future – where every young mind can rise, innovate, and lead India to new heights.

Gratitude, purpose, and integrity are our north star, guiding us to fulfil our responsibility to create change.
We invite you to join this magical community of changemakers — leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals — and experience what it means to give well, give joyfully, and give with purpose.
We are not a giving platform. We require no legal contract or pooling of funds, and we charge no joining fee.
Sharing new opportunities and avenues for impact:
Promisors actively channel a significant portion of their wealth or annual income into philanthropy each year, and the community helps them expand this giving by sharing new opportunities, trusted NGOs, and innovative models of impact.
Creating visibility for collaborative initiatives:
Giving Initiatives like the Dolphin Tank and the Freedom Fund allow promisors to discover and support high-impact NGOs while learning from one another’s philanthropic journeys.

Our work with platforms has shown us that these conversations spark long-term collaborations and mentorship. Our community-driven model has unlocked support for NGOs working across education, healthcare, gender inclusion, environment, animal welfare, and livelihoods. Together, Promisors and NGOs co-create sustainable, human-centred impact.
