Annual Review2024-2025
CEO's Foreword
Asia is not waiting, we are leading. In a year of uncertainty, the region has proven that its greatest challenges can also be powerful catalysts for change. This Annual Review for July 2024 - June 2025 is a testament to how Asia is stepping forward as a problem solver, leveraging its diversity and collective resolve to deliver solutions that are scalable and sustainable.
As an ecosystem builder, AVPN’s strength lies in our ability to connect an incredibly diverse network of stakeholders — philanthropists, investors, policymakers, and changemakers — each with their own motivations, approaches, and objectives. In a region as varied as Asia, we are united by a shared belief that together, we can turn complex challenges into coordinated action.
Our platforms and initiatives are a testament to this. The Social Investment in Action – Asia (SIAA) platform addresses questions our community has long asked: where are the promising opportunities, whether visible or overlooked, and where can we create the greatest impact? This AI-powered dashboard takes on the mammoth task of tracking the impact activities of over 700 AVPN members across 57 markets, offering a data-driven lens into where capital is being deployed, and where new collaboration is needed most.
From insight to implementation, having identified key areas of need and priority impact, ImpactCollab bridges the supply and demand sides of social investment by surfacing actionable solutions for funding. This year, we strengthened the foundation of the platform with the launch of the Governance Maturity Framework, a tool that evaluates charities on leadership, codes of conduct, transparency, accountability, and other critical parameters.
The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping society at every level. As leaders in social impact, we have a responsibility to ensure that AI is harnessed for good and for all. Through initiatives like the AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, we are equipping workers most affected by AI-driven transitions with the skills they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving workforce. This year, we expanded the AI Opportunity Fund with Phase 2, introducing an additional track focused on supporting MSMEs in Southeast Asia as they navigate the evolving digital landscape.
Asia’s approach to problem-solving recognises that no issue exists in isolation. Climate, health, and equity are deeply interconnected, and so must be our solutions. For example, increasing climate instability drives health crises, which in turn exacerbate economic vulnerabilities, especially for women. At AVPN, our initiatives reflect this reality: from the Climate × Health Lighthouse for Asia initiative, which builds resilience against climate-sensitive health risks, to the EquiHealth Alliance, which expands equitable access to solutions for communicable diseases like dengue, and the Asia Gender Equality Fund, which supports transformative initiatives for women and girls, including a new round focused on gender-just climate action. Each of these efforts show that lasting impact comes from systems thinking, not siloed action.
Given the huge funding gap, public and philanthropic funding alone cannot solve these challenges. Over the past year, we have deepened our impact investing work across Asia, helping our network deploy capital more catalytically and strengthen their commitment to impact measurement and management. By developing shared frameworks and practical tools, we help turn intention into strategy, and strategy into collective progress.
Our convenings also embody Asia’s collaborative spirit. While we are fully committed to cross-regional dialogue, we also recognise the importance of diving deep into local market contexts to share insights and forge collaborations. Through our regional Summits held in India, Singapore, and Japan, we brought together policymakers, philanthropists, investors, and intermediaries to exchange insights and co-create solutions. These dialogues affirm that Asia’s leadership lies in the strength of its diversity, and its willingness to collaborate.
Looking ahead, we are building on this momentum. In the coming year, AVPN will further expand its footprint into West Asia. We will also continue to spark bold conversations through initiatives such as Faith and Giving, which bridge divides and strengthen the connective tissue of Asia’s social investment ecosystem. Across all our work, we remain focused on driving systemic, collaborative change, with Asia at the forefront.
The achievements highlighted in this Annual Review are a reflection of the community that we have built together. To our members, partners, and supporters: thank you. These milestones have been made possible as a result of your trust and collaboration. Let’s keep building. Let’s keep leading. And let’s keep showing the world what’s possible when Asia invests in its own future.

A Year of Moving Capital Towards Impact in Asia
From July 2024 to June 2025, AVPN continued to advance its mission of increasing the flow and effectiveness of impact capital across Asia. Through our four pillars of ecosystem-building activities — Connect, Learn, Act, Lead — we strategically amplified the region’s impact ecosystem. Across the network, we successfully unlocked and directed new resources, elevated organisational capabilities, and forged robust, cross-sectoral alliances to increase investment effectiveness across Asia-Pacific.
connect
By curating conversations and cross-pollinating ideas, AVPN enabled 7,440 connections across 79 engagements, bringing together 3,716 participants from 48 markets. Despite not having a global conference within the financial year, these engagements ensured multiple opportunities for our members to spark new collaborations and strengthen their networks. Engagements included regional summits in South Asia, Northeast Asia, and Southeast Asia to local in-market convenings.
ACT
From September 2021 through to June 2025, AVPN has helped mobilise USD 51.37 million in capital for impact. These resources have supported 127 impact organisations across 19 markets, strengthening their capacity and scaling their solutions. Collectively, these efforts have reached more than 500,000 end beneficiaries across Asia-Pacific. Examples include the AI Opportunity Fund: Asia Pacific, aiming to equip vulnerable workers with skills to thrive in an AI-driven future, and the Climate × Health Lighthouse Fund: addressing the nexus between climate change and public health.
LEARN
To build capacity and shared understanding, we organised 27 learning opportunities and developed 55 knowledge products. These resources deepened the sector’s knowledge base and equipped stakeholders to respond more effectively to evolving challenges. Key knowledge products developed by AVPN included a landmark report on
AI workforce readiness in Asia-Pacific, and a report on the intersection of gender and climate action.
LEAD
AVPN amplified its voice and influence by contributing to 176 regional and global fora and on social investment, underscoring our role as a trusted ecosystem leader. In addition, we produced 31 thought leadership pieces that advanced key narratives on the future of social investment, from faith and giving to trust-based philanthropy and AI for good. By shaping these conversations and anchoring them in Asia’s diverse contexts, AVPN is helping steer the global ecosystem towards more collaborative, values-driven, and impactful approaches.
Together, these efforts demonstrate AVPN’s unique ability to catalyse collaboration, knowledge, and resources that accelerate impact across Asia.
Through targeted programmes, AVPN continues to advance solutions to some of the region’s most pressing challenges. From July 2024 to June 2025, our initiatives spanned the future of work, collaborative philanthropy, climate action, gender equality, and health equity. The highlights below illustrate how AVPN’s programmes are mobilising resources and building partnerships for long-term impact:
Equipping workers with the AI skills needed to thrive
The AI Opportunity Fund: Asia-Pacific, supported by Google.org and the Asian Development Bank, is equipping workers most affected by AI-driven transitions with the skills needed to thrive in the future workplace. Following its launch in 2024, the Fund identified 48 grantees across the region to receive financial support and expert guidance. These organisations will then directly reach and train various groups of workers, including migrant workers, informal workers, and persons with disabilities. In response to the strong interest following the initial launch, Google.org has provided an additional USD 10 million to AVPN to scale the Fund. The Fund will aim to support training for 720,000 workers across Asia Pacific and 100,000 MSMEs across the Southeast Asia region.
Strengthening community resilience across Asia
Launched in February 2025, the CapitaLand Community Resilience Initiative, funded by CapitaLand Hope Foundation and supported by AVPN, is a SGD 3.4 million initiative dedicated to strengthening community resilience across Asia. Guided by the belief that children and youth are the foundation of resilient communities, the initiative aims to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and support systems needed to thrive in the face of adversity. It supports non-profit organisations delivering impactful programmes in education, skilling, physical health, and mental well-being for children and youth across China, India, Singapore, and Vietnam, helping to build a more inclusive and adaptive future for all.
Unleashing the full potential of Asian philanthropy
Launched in September 2024, the Commission on Asian Philanthropy is a coalition of 13 of Asia’s leading philanthropic organisations, with the vision of accelerating the change in the trajectory of Asian philanthropy to unleash its full potential toward more inclusive and sustainable societies. AVPN serves as a Co-secretariat of the Commission, steering its engagement, events, and communications.
The Commission’s multi-year mandate is to map the current state of Asian philanthropy, analyse diverse growth models, and engage key policymakers and institutions. This work will culminate in a report outlining strategies and investment roadmaps to strengthen domestic philanthropic ecosystems across Asia.
Addressing the Climate x Health financing gap
The Climate × Health Lighthouse Fund, launched by AVPN with partners including Bayer Foundation, India Health Fund, Prudence Foundation, SingHealth Duke-NUS, PATH, Dalberg, and MovingWorlds, addresses the financing gap at the nexus of climate change and public health. In its inaugural cohort, five grantees were selected, each tackling climate-sensitive health challenges - from AI-powered heat mapping in informal settlements to advanced forecasting of vector-borne disease outbreaks. Alongside flexible funding, grantees will receive tailored capacity building, mentorship, and systems-level networking support to scale bold, adaptive solutions for climate health resilience across Asia.
Deepening Asia’s impact investing ecosystem
AVPN is also deepening its impact investing ecosystem building work by equipping investors with practical tools and platforms for dialogue. Several gatherings were held including in Singapore, India, Vietnam, Japan and Hong Kong, engaging with various stakeholders across the ecosystem. Building on this momentum, in partnership with Impact Frontiers, AVPN delivered workshops in Vietnam, Malaysia, and India to strengthen impact measurement and management (IMM). AVPN further advanced the regional conversation through the first-ever impact investing side event with the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) at the Asia Pacific Forum for Sustainable Development in Bangkok, and through an India Roundtable with the CFA Institute. Through our ongoing podcast, “Impact Investing Musings”, AVPN has also engaged ecosystem leaders in over 15 episodes this year, sharing diverse perspectives and actionable insights shaping Asia’s impact investing landscape.
Mapping the mobilisation of capital in Asia
This year, AVPN launched the Social Investment in Action – Asia (SIAA) Dashboard, an AI powered dashboard that provides unprecedented visibility into how AVPN members deploy capital across sectors, geographies, and investment types. The dashboard helps track impact activities across more than 2 million news sources monthly, collating information on financial and non-financial support provided by AVPN members across 57 markets.
Expanding the West Asia market
The West Asia team advanced AVPN’s engagement across gender, climate, and inclusive finance. In the UAE, a Gender Roundtable highlighted financing gaps in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5. In Saudi Arabia, AVPN spoke at the Social Investment Forum during the International Exhibition for the Non-Profit Sector (IENA), organised by the National Center for the Non-Profit Sector (NCNP), and progressed the Social Investment Landscape Study with key stakeholders in the Saudi social investment landscape. Regionally, participation in the Official Development Assistance (ODA) of the United Arab Emirates Philanthropy Roundtable and a Philanthropic Roundtable, convened together with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), elevated AVPN’s regional profile. In Pakistan, engagement at the Pakistan Microfinance Network’s Annual Microfinance Conference (AMC), the Kashf Foundation Women Entrepreneurship Awards, and the Climate Innovation Pakistan (CLIP) launch expanded AVPN’s footprint across gender and climate initiatives.
Expanding equitable healthcare access in Asia
The Equihealth Alliance, a multi-stakeholder coalition launched by AVPN, is expanding equitable healthcare access in Asia with a focus on dengue. Through five convenings across India from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and at the World Health Regional Summit in New Delhi, AVPN mobilised governments, funders, practitioners, and community voices, leading to an Outcomes Report: Advancing Access & Strengthening Dengue Response: Lessons from Tamil Nadu & Karnataka – with actionable recommendations on prevention, data and surveillance, and financing. The Alliance serves as a strategic platform to bridge policy and practice, responding directly to the need for accessible, inclusive, and resilient public health responses.
Unlocking resources towards gender equality outcomes
This year, AVPN’s Gender Equality Platform launched the Gender Equality Ambassadors initiative with six women leaders to highlight diverse gender equality efforts across Asia and establish AVPN as a thought leader in the space. AVPN’s Asia Gender Network (AGN) continues to expand its footprint of women philanthropists providing financial, intellectual and human capital to close gender gaps in the region. This community of 36 funders across 16 Asian markets has continued to mobilize and deploy capital with a gender lens across a range of impact areas, including livelihoods, climate resilience, health access, education, and preservation of culture and heritage. To further bring together champions advancing gender equality and women’s empowerment across sectors, AGN in partnership with Tatler’s "Front & Female" co-hosted events across Southeast Asia in the Philippines, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Strengthening women’s economic empowerment
In 2024–25, with support from the Ford Foundation, AVPN also launched the APAC Leaders Community for Women’s Economic Empowerment (WEE). Over a three year period, this programme aims to strengthen the leadership of civil society organisations and philanthropic funders to channel more resources towards WEE and scale impact in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Indonesia.
Catalysing a low-carbon transition in India and Indonesia
In shaping the future of climate action in Asia, AVPN has launched initiatives that are catalysing a low-carbon transition in India and Indonesia, aiming to reduce GHG emissions by at least 100 MtCO₂e annually by 2030. The initiatives include mobilising capital while strengthening key institutions, from subnational governments to civil society organisations (CSOs), through targeted technical assistance and policy support. In addition, we deploy expertise to accelerate progress in high-impact areas, including clean energy transitions, industrial decarbonization, sustainable land use, and clean mobility. Together, these interventions link local implementation with national ambitions, building a powerful pathway for a resilient, low-carbon future.
Accelerating a people-centric clean energy transition across Asia
At the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 29), AVPN launched the Asia’s Clean Energy Transition Initiative (ASCENT), supported by Cathay Financial Holdings, to accelerate a people-centric clean energy transition across Asia by strengthening ecosystem capacity and mobilising catalytic capital for early-stage solutions. In partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), AVPN released a report establishing a framework for people-centric transitions and identifying key gaps in awareness, financing, and delivery capacity. Building on these insights, ASCENT is advancing just transition principles, a practical impact framework, and a repository of case studies to drive inclusive and scalable clean energy action across the region.
AVPN’s impact is best reflected through the experiences of our members, partners, and beneficiaries. Whether convening funders and policymakers, equipping practitioners with new skills, or shaping the global agenda for social investment, our programmes create opportunities for collaboration and learning. Below are some reflections from those who have engaged with AVPN’s platforms over the past year.
ImpactCollab:
Transforming Philanthropy in Asia
In June 2025, AVPN launched ImpactCollab, an innovative digital platform designed to simplify, secure, and scale high-impact philanthropy across Asia. The development was supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and the Gates Foundation, with a Governance Maturity Framework co-developed with the Lien Centre for Social Innovation at Singapore Management University (SMU). Since launch, over 468 verified impact organisations have been onboarded, with plans to scale to more than 1,200 by 2027.
“With growing interest in philanthropy across Asia, there’s a need for simple, trusted ways to help people give effectively. ImpactCollab makes it easier for wealth advisors and funders to find credible organisations and understand where their support can make a difference. The Gates Foundation supported the design of the platform to help ensure it meets global standards for reliability and impact management, so more capital can reach the organisations delivering real results on the ground.”

Asia Gender Equality Fund: Supporting Women Across the Region
Through the Asia Gender Equality Fund (AGEF) Round 1 launched in 2023, supported by Fondation CHANEL, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The Target Foundation, and AVPN’s Asia Gender Network, AVPN has supported non-profit organisations to drive improved economic outcomes for women and girls in the region. In Round 1, the Fund supported 8 grantees from across Asia-Pacific, who were then able to reach more than 34,000 end beneficiaries in total. In Round 2, the Fund supported 3 grantees. Currently in AGEF Round 3, the Fund provides flexible, multi-year grants for organisations, which, unlike project specific funding, enables them to direct resources where they are most needed, strengthen their own institutional capacity, and create sustainable and long-term impact for more women across the region.
For example, through this Fund, The Sindh Community Foundation in Pakistan utilised its flexible, multi-year grant to establish 15 Literacy Centers across Sindh province, equipping more than 1,000 women cotton workers with essential literacy and financial skills. As a result of this support, women farmers have improved their livelihoods, demonstrated increased confidence in managing their earnings, and are able to advocate for fair workplace treatment. In Hong Kong, Enrich, which works to support the empowerment of migrant domestic workers, leveraged its AGEF grant to deliver financial literacy and empowerment workshops for more than 1,500 migrant workers, improving their financial management skills and resilience throughout their migration journey.
AVPN Philanthropy Fellowship:
Encouraging More Strategic Giving
The AVPN Philanthropy Fellowship, hosted by AVPN Academy in partnership with Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS), equips senior philanthropy leaders to enhance their giving and make it more strategic.
To date, three cohorts of the programme have been conducted in partnership with CJBS. As of May 2025, a total of 52 fellows have graduated, representing a wide spectrum of organisations, including foundations, family offices, humanitarian organisations, corporates, UN agencies, and non-profits.
This intensive and hybrid programme combines expert-led sessions with deep peer learning and reflection to build capacity for strategic philanthropy. The most consistent feedback from alumni highlights the immense value of this peer community. Journeying and learning alongside others, hearing their specific challenges, and understanding how they navigate them is consistently cited as a highly helpful component. Additionally, the commitment to continuing conversations and fostering collaboration beyond the formal program encourages sustained peer-to-peer learning and long-term partnerships.
"It was a great honour to be accepted as an AVPN Philanthropy Fellow 2025. The week of learning and exchange with peers from across Asia was beyond my expectation. The thought-provoking sessions by Cambridge Judge Business School offered me fresh insights into strategic philanthropy, collaboration, and impact measurement. What stayed with me were also the moments interacting with a diverse group of Fellows — our shared reflections and collective energy were deeply inspiring. A big thank you to the AVPN team for curating such an invaluable programme."

ASPIRE: Advancing Asia’s Leadership in Development Finance Agenda
The Asia Partnership for Investment in Resilient Economies (ASPIRE), was established to address two central issues of importance to the AVPN community; firstly, how to plug the estimated USD 1.5 trillion gap to achieving the SDGs in Asia and secondly, how to capitalise on Asia’s growing wealth and ambition to lead on global efforts to reform the global development finance architecture. The initiative brings together philanthropies, development finance institutions, governments, and private investors to co-create a regionally grounded development finance agenda.
Supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, we established the ASPIRE Ambassadors group which gathered at Bellagio in June this year. The group has a simple aim: to advance Asia’s leadership role in the development finance agenda, focusing on the role that blended and innovative finance (BIF) can play as a new approach to addressing Asia’s critical development challenges.
The group has been working hard, through advocacy efforts in Hong Kong’s Impact Week and the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) Conference in Seville. In the next year, the group is gearing up to advance the sustainable finance agenda at the World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok in autumn 2026. We are very excited about the potential of the ASPIRE group to deliver real change in the region.
“Asia is home to many of the world’s fastest-growing economies, most vulnerable communities, and boldest financial innovations. We have long believed that community-led, regional solutions are key to closing the development finance gap. Supporting AVPN through ASPIRE is part of our continued effort to strengthen Asia’s leadership, connect policy to investment, and unlock opportunity where it’s needed most.”
