Looking Ahead: Asia’s Global Impact

Over the course of this special series recorded live at AVPN’s 12th annual Global Conference in Hong Kong, we’ve touched on a variety of themes—from inclusion to leadership to global challenges. And we’ve heard from a number of voices across the continent on how impact philanthropy can unlock new solutions to Asia’s most critical needs. In our final episode, we’re going to look ahead at the potential for future investment in Asia to take projects that once seemed impossible to scale or implement and make them reality. First, host Rob Sachs talks to Shaun Seow, the CEO of Philanthropy Asia Alliance, about finding new opportunities for impact investing through collaborative philanthropy. Piramal Foundation CEO Aditya Natraj and Elevar Equity founder Sandeep Farias share how their organizations are supporting marginalized communities across India. Finally, Lisa George, the global head of the Macquarie Group Foundation, shares how Macquarie’s model for corporate philanthropy has made the foundation a major player in community-based solutions.
