While charity has deep roots in Asia, strategic philanthropy remains relatively nascent in the region. What makes philanthropy in Asia distinct from other parts of the world? How do its unique cultural, social, and economic contexts shape its practice?
APC’s recent piece on “Observations on the Essence of Asian Philanthropy” attempts to put shape to “Asian Philanthropy.” In this session, we invite seasoned philanthropists to share their experiences as active givers in Asia. The discussion will examine the interplay between philanthropy and corporate giving, its evolving relationship with governments, and other key factors driving giving in Asia today.
