How Faith-Aligned Capital is Tackling Poverty in Asia

Faith-aligned givers have long been at the forefront of efforts to combat poverty in Asia. The first of the United Nation’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), poverty alleviation is a critical social concern prioritised by the global community.

How Values and Beliefs Shape Giving in Asia

Values, belief systems, moral codes, and faith doctrines shape much of philanthropy across the world, but these fundamental drivers often remain unspoken. As faith-aligned giving begins to adopt a bigger, more visible space in the global development ecosystem, there is an opportunity for knowledge exchange, partnership and strategic alignment within the social investment community, particularly in Asia.

Urban Solutions Action Playbook

Pooled Funds as a Tool for Achieving Collaborative Philanthropy Goals

With less than 10 years to reach global commitments to the SDG goals and with a recovery from a global pandemic to tackle, philanthropy is needed more than ever yet no one organization can change the existing status quo or achieve the scale of impact that is truly needed. This is where collaborative philanthropy can make a difference. Collaboration is an emerging trend in Asian philanthropy and with a growing and diversifying philanthropic environment, cross-sector, multi-stakeholder collaboration at scale is becoming a growing movement in Asia.
