The report examined ten cases of early-stage philanthropic funding which collectively benefitted more than 210 million recipients across 13 Asian economies. \nThe study finds that Asian philanthropists distinguish themselves through staying power — noting that the largest and longest commitments came from individual philanthropists and families who built or seeded the organisations they funded — and through early alignment with government, which the report identifies as critical to achieving scale. \nOne emblematic case cited is the Tahija Foundation's decade-long, US$17 million backing of Wolbachia bacteria as a dengue control method, which yielded a 77% reduction in dengue incidence and is now part of Indonesia's national health plan, protecting an estimated 14 million people.\nThe report also notes that philanthropy as risk capital remains uncommon across the region, with CAPS's survey of over 2,100 nonprofits and social enterprises across 17 Asian economies finding that 81% say securing unrestricted funding is a challenge. \n“The greatest risk is not in acting, but in doing nothing,” concludes the report. \nDeploying capital and growing the PAA\nOn funds deployment, PAA enters its third year with US$615 million ($786.9 million) mobilised across more than 300 projects in climate, health and inclusive development. Of that, US$50 million has been deployed to 24 catalytic initiatives designed to attract co-funding and validate delivery models transferable to other Asian markets.\nMeanwhile, across PAA's five active member communities, momentum is building. The Health for Human Potential Community welcomed three new members including Google.org, which joins with a US$7 million contribution to fund infectious disease and pandemic preparedness work using frontier AI tools, including AlphaFold and Google Earth models. \nThe Blue Oceans Community saw new members as well: Bloomberg Philanthropies, Minderoo Foundation, Oceankind and SEE (Society of Entrepreneurs and Ecology) Foundation. They also launched three new projects in Indonesia including the 30x30 Southeast Asia Ocean Fund. \nMeanwhile, the Just Energy Transition Community has earmarked US$2.6 million in its first year across energy, agriculture, fisheries and jobs initiatives in Southeast Asia, just as the Sustainable Land Use Community opens a grant call in Q32026 for nature-based solutions and sustainable agriculture across Asia.\nPAA has grown to more than 110 funder members and partners, and extended its global network through new partnerships with WINGS (Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support), Latimpacto, Emirates Foundation, the Sustainable Social Value Collaborative in China and Pijar Foundation in Indonesia. Programme partnerships with the Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth and CapitaLand Hope Foundation were also formalised during the year.\nIn his remarks, Seow framed the Alliance's broader ambition around Asia's unique position. \n“What is achieved in Asia can carry far beyond its borders,” he said, adding that the region offers \"demographic weight, development complexity, entrepreneurial energy, and readiness to back ambition at the scale the moment asks for.\"","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"corporation","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.43.1","shortVersion":"4.43.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2637359717","isCrawlerRequest":true}
