About

Ecosystem Building Initiatives

Ecosystem Building at AVPN’s Capital Mobilisation team goes beyond grant deployment by providing non-financial support that strengthens Impact Organizations and the broader social investment landscape. This includes capacity building, mentorship, peer-learning communities, landscape studies, and thought-leadership efforts that help organizations grow their internal capabilities and scale sustainably. Besides managing philanthropic funds to match the right impact organizations, we also partner with corporates, foundations, policymakers, and various resource providers to develop and deliver human and intellectual capital. Through these collaborations, we work with partners to build, strengthen, and connect the social investment ecosystem across Asia.

Being with AVPN has helped us better understand the different players in the ecosystem. It has also encouraged us to be better collaborators by playing our part as a universal bank that connects clients to opportunities.
Eugenia Koh
Eugenia KohHead of Sustainable Investing at Standard Chartered Bank
AVPN is a really critical organisation, as we think of bringing people together to solve some of the biggest issues in the world. They are a convenor, a thought partner, and have the ability to look across the network for unique partnerships to help us achieve what we want to achieve.
Lauren Moore
Lauren MooreVice President, Global Community Impact at Johnson & Johnson
We were one of the first foundations to support AVPN, and so far we feel very positive about that investment. When I looked out at the size of the crowd [at the AVPN Conference], I can’t believe that this is brought together by an organization that is still very young, and I think that you are a magnet in this region.

Experiences of our Grantees

We see new opportunities as our presence and visibility grow stronger, now that we can connect with new partners, donors, and collaborators. With stronger communication tools and a clearer brand architecture, we are now better positioned to showcase our impact and attract opportunities that align with our mission.
Yayasan Solar Chapter
Yayasan Solar ChapterSSF 1.0 Grantees
The classes were engaging and easy to understand, and the mentors were both warm and professional. Best of all, C4G patiently accommodated our shifting work schedule (we’re a small team with a heavy workload, so our time is quite fragmented). Having an interpreter in the sessions also made a big difference and greatly improved how quickly we could absorb the material.
Azure Alliance Team
Azure Alliance TeamSSF 1.0 Grantees
We would definitely recommend the SSL program, especially for startups. It helps early-stage organizations build essential systems and gives mature ones the clarity to identify and fix exact pain points.
Villgro Innovation Foundation
Villgro Innovation FoundationSSF 1.0 Grantees
The support has been incredible and unique. Having an expert dive into our situation and lay out a clear path ahead made all the difference. It enabled us to move from a prototype to a scalable solution, while clarifying our priorities, like expanding our communications beyond LinkedIn to reach different audiences and creating regular content for Instagram and Facebook. Their guidance on both strategy and content development was invaluable.
Wildlife.ai
Wildlife.aiSSF 2.0 Grantees
The biggest value that SSL has brought was to bring a learning mindset for us- sit back, evaluate ourselves, and then work on some fundamentals which are very important in the long run. In the rush to build and reach impact, we may miss the basics and there are not many avenues for NGOs to learn in this manner.
INREM Foundation
INREM FoundationSSF 2.0 Grantees
Overall, the capacity-building experience was highly beneficial, not only in shaping our current project practices but also in strengthening our internal team's long-term digital and ethical readiness for future environmental data initiatives.
AIT
AITSSF 2.0 Grantees
Without SSL, our organizational journey would likely have been much slower. We might have still tried to adopt technology, but without clear direction and support the results would not have been as effective.
PJPG
PJPGSSF 2.0 Grantees
If we hadn’t taken part in SSL, our communications efforts would have been much poorer and as a result our impact would have been much narrower in reach. The comms support adequately helped us focus on putting out word about the product.
IFMR
IFMRSSF 2.0 Grantees
We would definitely recommend this program to other organizations, because it demonstrates how effective capacity building should be — tailored, responsive, and directly linked to the organization’s real needs.
YEU
YEUSSF 2.0 Grantees
One word to describe the program: ‘Transformative’. The program pushed us to grow, both technically and how we communicate our work to the world.
CRDF
CRDFSSF 2.0 Grantees
A great experience defined by clarity, focus, and trust – truly transformative learning.
MHT
MHTSSF 2.0 Grantees
We wouldn't have had the capacity financially to employ an agency to help us put together a LinkedIn strategy. So to get one that's comprehensive and enables us to go away and build off that, is really helpful, because we couldn't have done it otherwise.
