Track 1.2: Evolution of Eastern Giving: How has Asia been giving?

Giving in the East has distinctive characteristics derived from the region’s unique cultures and political contexts. These typically include a stronger and more structured alignment between giving and government activities, a more fragmented giving environment, and a higher focus on issues that are central to the regional culture. 

This session delves into the historical and cultural evolution of giving across the continent, examining how traditional practices have merged with modern philanthropic strategies. Panellists will discuss experiences and perspectives on the unique challenges and opportunities that define philanthropy in the region today.
