Plenary 3:​ Launch of the Commission on Asian Philanthropy​
The Asian Way of Giving: Unleashing the power of Asian philanthropy for a sustainable future

With the rapid rise of wealth and the growing demand for impactful philanthropy both domestically and regionally in Asia, the global philanthropic landscape is poised for reshaping.  As the region that is home to 60% of the world’s population and the driving force behind these changes, Asia holds the key to unlocking this transformative shift.  To harness the full potential of philanthropy in Asia, it is crucial to thoroughly understand the diverse and dynamic socio-economic contexts and their influence on giving, as well as the potential impact it can generate.​

Join us as we launch the Commission on Asian Philanthropy, a pioneering initiative designed to leverage the distinct strengths of Asian philanthropy.  By embracing the rich diversity of Asian philanthropy, our aim is to unlock the full potential of the region and to discover how these unique approaches across Asia can come together in shaping a sustainable future.  Esteemed speakers will explore emerging trends, opportunities, and pathways to further the professionalisation of Asian philanthropy, paving the way for enduring action and transformative change.  Together, let’s uncover the unparalleled value that the Commission seeks to bring to Asia’s dynamic and evolving philanthropic landscape.
