Members' Experience
What do our members think about AVPN?
I’m really excited to come back to another AVPN convening because there are always really interesting people here and in-depth conversations to be had. There are philanthropists, impact investors, fund managers, academics - so there’s a broad range of people and I always find that we are setting up a lot of opportunities every time we come.

AVPN is the largest platform and networking organisation for social investment in Asia. It brings together funders, implementers and leading industry bodies in a forum where they can share ideas and contacts and collaborate on various initiatives. Credit Suisse sees this platform as highly beneficial to our regional grant-making and understanding of the regional social investment field.
