What We Do

We believe that a vibrant, effective civil society and philanthropy is essential for inclusive and lasting development rooted in local action and community leadership. We work to strengthen the capacity, credibility, and connectivity of civil society and philanthropic organizations and champions across Nepal and also internationally equipping them to drive change with trust, impact, and resilience.

Ecosystem and Network Strengthening

Building Knowledge through Research & Documentation

We strengthen the civil society ecosystem through data-driven research and knowledge on financing trends, indigenous giving practices, CSR and ESG policies, and cross-border philanthropy. Our research informs policy dialogue, advocacy, and sector planning, while our documentation of traditional philanthropic values highlights and preserves Nepal’s rich heritage of giving.

Facilitating Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue

We create inclusive spaces for dialogue among government, philanthropy, CSOs, donors, and the private sector. These convenings encourage alignment with national development priorities, promote cross-sector learning and exchange, support collaboration and partnerships, and strengthen shared accountability for sustainable development and social change.

Recognizing Unsung Philanthropists and Community Champions

We recognize and celebrate local changemakers whose meaningful contributions often go unnoticed. By honoring their work, we uplift stories of generosity and leadership that inspire others. This recognition helps nurture a stronger culture of giving, volunteerism, and community-driven action across Nepal.

Direct Support for Philanthropy and Civil Society Organizations

Capacity Building for Impact

Through tailored training, we help CSOs and philanthropic organizations build core competencies in strategic fundraising, story telling, donor engagement, evidence-based proposals, and impact reporting. Our capacity-building programs are tailored to enhance visibility, accountability, and effectiveness.

Trust and Accreditation

We are launching Trust & Accreditation Program to build public and donor confidence in Nepal’s CSOs and philanthropic initiatives. This initiative ensures quality assurance, governance transparency, and operational credibility, helping organizations gain the trust they need to grow.

Fundraising & Resource Mobilization Support

NCPD supports NGOs and philanthropic organizations in identifying grants, scoping donors, and developing fundraising strategies. We also assist in forging long-term partnerships through strategic matchmaking and proposal refinement.

Impact Assessment Support

We assist CSOs in conducting monitoring and evaluation—helping them articulate both outcomes and impact. Our services include support for baseline, midline, and endline assessments, as well as learning-oriented evaluations.

1st National Philanthropy and Fundraising Conference

Date: July 1, 2019

One of the main reasons for resource crunch is the shifting of donors' priority from Nepal to other global issues like the refugee, migration, trafficking, combating terrorism, global warming etc. In addition, there is also hope among development partners that the current government will itself tackle the current development given the context of its stability. Consequently, the development cooperation partners are diverting their resources and attention to other countries especially in the conflict affected regions.
