          Highlights of the week

          Trust-Based Philanthropy

          In the face of increasingly complex and, sometimes rapidly, changing needs on the ground, it is crucial to take a step back and reconsider the status quo.

          APAC Sustainability Seed Fund 2.0

          By leveraging the success of the first round of the APAC Sustainability Seed Fund, AVPN continues to mobilise continuum of capital into supporting climate solutions in the region.

          Faith and Giving

          Faith, and the values, belief systems, moral codes, and religious doctrines, that underlie it, shape much of philanthropy across the world. From addressing needs in underserved communities to investing in sustainable energy solutions, faith-aligned givers are demonstrating that compassion can be a catalyst for a more just and equitable world. However, the fundamental drivers of faith-aligned giving often remain unexamined.
