How Values and Beliefs Shape Giving in Asia
Faith, and the values, belief systems, moral codes, and religious doctrines, that underlie it, shape much of philanthropy across the world. However, the fundamental drivers of faith-aligned giving often remain unexamined. This brief aims to surface the existing practices around faith-aligned giving and investing and identify ways to bridge communities to achieve greater impact together. It serves as an introductory resource to highlight the various ways in which faith has directly or indirectly influenced giving and social investment practices in Asia. By leveraging an inclusive and neutral platform, AVPN aims to unpack faith and giving in Asia, develop learning opportunities and provide a platform for collective action for social investors across the region, regardless of their faith alignment or lack thereof.
