A Philanthropist's Guide to Giving

A Philanthropist's Guide to Giving is a handbook for philanthropists and foundations with the desire to practice strategic, impactful philanthropy in Asia. Few resources exist in the Asia region that can serve as references along the full journey of philanthropy. This guide touches on all relevant points at the various stages of this journey from designing a philanthropy strategy or involving family members in giving, to evaluating the impact of philanthropy or pursuing collaboration while giving.

If you are embarking on a philanthropy journey yourself, this guide is intended to serve as a go-to resource for your path forward. It aims to answer your most important questions by introducing different frameworks and highlighting key considerations. It will not prescribe a single 'best' way for philanthropy, but instead enable you to be more confident and informed in crafting your own approach.

Notably, this guide is tailored for the Asian experience, based on the learnings from the Asia Philanthropy Circle (APC) and its members. The book has distilled key lessons from seven years of in-depth engagement with APC members; it features 31 case studies of Asia-based philanthropists, bringing the reality of giving on the ground in Asia to you.

By presenting different approaches to philanthropy, best-in-class models and examples, as well as practical insights from APC members and learnings from APC projects, you will be well-equipped to explore and expand your giving in Asia.
