The Philanthropy Asia Alliance’s (PAA) inaugural Impact Report captures the early strides made since our launch in September 2023. This report highlights how collaboration across public, private, and philanthropic sectors is driving meaningful change across Asia’s most pressing challenges.

Since our launch in September 2023, PAA members have committed millions of dollars of their pledges towards programmes and initiatives in Asia. Among them are 19 catalytic projects, in areas spanning climate, education, and health, that PAA has mobilised over US$37.5m in funding towards. Our portfolio of catalytic projects includes those with multiple funders, public-private-philanthropic partnerships, scalability across geographies, or lighthouse programmes featuring emerging themes or novel approaches.

Leveraging the collective strengths of 84 global members and partners, we've advanced solutions such as:


• Decarbonising rice farming to cut methane emissions, improve farmers’ livelihoods, and boost food security 

• Strengthening early childhood development for underserved migrant communities in Vietnam 

• Enhancing infectious diseases detection and response through the Asia Pathogen Genomics Initiative 

• Championing ocean-based climate mitigation solutions in Indonesia 

• Launching the Communities initiative to accelerate collaborative philanthropy and scalable impact in oceans, land use, and education 

• Convening global leaders at the Philanthropy Asia Summit to catalyse partnerships and initiatives 

• Bridging knowledge and action through thought leadership on climate philanthropy and sustainable agriculture 
 

This is only the beginning. Guided by our mission to prime Asia as a force for good, we remain committed to connecting, convening, and catalysing solutions that deliver lasting impact for People and Planet.
