The Asia Philanthropy Circle is a membership platform fostering exchange, coordination and collaboration among Asian philanthropists. Through its members, it aims to "Advance a distinct Asian brand of philanthropy to accelerate the public good in Asia, by promoting and supporting leadership and collaboration for joint action." It has been launched as a joint initiative of several Asian philanthropists to build a like-minded community of progressive and forward-thinking private individuals and families. Together, members own and drive the platform, which allows them to continually identify and harness their collective philanthropic intelligence and capacity to catalyse an Asian philanthropy that improves the lives of many.
