Ingrid Srinath, Director, Centre for Social Impact and Philanthropy, Ashoka University at the #CaringForIndia telethon said that in the time of a crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, both the demand from donors and the number of NGOs working on the issue skyrockets. To cope with this surge, Ms Srinath said that GiveIndia has created a 20 person advisory board, comprising of people across business, philanthropy and civil society to oversee the whole process. The advisory board will define the mandate for the fund, define the fund's priorities and then continue to monitor the fund, she said.
