Since 1980 the Karuna Trust has been initiating social work and Dharma projects amongst some of India's poorest and most disadvantaged communities. The majority of funding for this work comes from thousands of individuals across the UK who, having met with a Karuna fundraiser, have taken the decision to contribute money to Karuna regularly by standing order. This form of fundraising, where the fundraiser goes out and meets prospective donors face-to-face, was pioneered by Karuna in 1982. Since then Karuna has been developing such fundraising as a context for engaged Buddhist practice.
