General Purpose
Drive Impact Where It Matters Most
The General Purpose Fund gives IIMA the flexibility to act with speed and vision. Unlike the corpus, both the principal and the income generated are fully deployable, ensuring that every rupee can be directed toward immediate, high-impact priorities.
Contributions to this fund become a catalyst for change—accelerating initiatives, powering innovation, and enabling the Institute to seize opportunities that might otherwise be delayed. Whether it is advancing new research, enriching student learning, or strengthening infrastructure, the fund delivers outcomes that are visible and transformative.
With autonomy to deploy these resources where they create the most value, IIMA ensures that every gift fuels its mission of solidifying global leadership in management education, research, and thought leadership. Donors to the General Purpose Fund become partners in this journey—driving agility today while reinforcing resilience for the future.
