          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.

About the Fund

As a regional ecosystem builder, we have launched the Youth Mental Wellbeing Philanthropic Pooled Fund to increase accessibility of youth mental wellbeing services across the region.

Despite substantial research advances demonstrating what can be done to promote mental wellbeing among young people, translation into real-world effects are lagging behind. In Asia, problems arising from poor mental health and wellbeing are the second largest contributor to years of health life lost to disability and many treatment gaps still persist.

Our goal is to raise USD 3 million to strengthen and scale transformative impact organisations that are working to address accessibility to quality, evidence-based mental health services for youth communities in Asia.

Besides deploying financial capital through the fund, we will also work with the funders to provide non-financial support to grantees through corporate volunteering engagement opportunities.

TESTIMONIALS

What do our selected grantee say about the Asian Youth Mental Wellbeing Fund?

"Through the support of the Asian Mental Youth Fund, we hope to increase conversation on mental well-being needs of adolescents in India, with a particular focus on academic performance pressure, and reduce the stigma associated with mental health for youth and adolescents. We plan to achieve this by creating a comprehensive mental health resource catering to the needs of Indian adolescents. We would also work towards creating spaces, opportunities for parents and schools to understand the importance of mental health and reduce stigma around it. We will also pilot the assimilation of mental well-being checks as part of regular school health check-ins. We will also take the conversation and provide tools and spaces on mental health to youth in smaller towns and rural areas."

"PINTAR Foundation, in partnership with Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman Kampar Campus, is grateful and thrilled to have been selected for AVPN’s Asia Youth Mental Wellbeing fund for our three-year project that will impact students, teachers, and members of the community. Our comprehensive initiative is aimed at capacity building and optimising the efficiency of a three-tiered mental health intervention programme – to empower school communities to possess a deeper understanding of mental health issues, building on the success of our current KASIH programme developed and validated by healthcare professionals. As this programme grows, we will be able to make it more broadly accessible and transform our content to keep it enriching, as well as aligning it with the rising needs of Malaysian youth."

"Youths-facing-adversity bear the brunt of mental health care needs in Singapore. They are often displaced from formal institutions of care, and are combatting a range of risk and need factors in their immediate communities. AVPN's grant helps Impart to bring targeted interventions for these youths, right in their own community spaces. Through the grant, Impart will be able to deploy outreach and engagement mental health care services that bridge these youths to trained volunteers, build these youths through developmental opportunities, and bolster these youths with requisite clinical care."
