INTRODUCTION
How Values and Beliefs Shape Giving in Asia
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.
The potential of faith-aligned giving is particularly ripe in Asia, where the ecosystem holds vast resources, networks and deep-rooted values that can advance social and environmental progress in the region. One estimate puts the value of net assets held by a group of faith-aligned asset managers around the world at USD 5 trillion (Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, 2022).
By leveraging our inclusive and neutral platform, AVPN aims to unpack faith and giving in Asia, develop learning opportunities and provide a platform for collective action for social investors across the region, regardless of their faith alignment or lack thereof.
