About AVPN

AVPN’s mission is to encourage and facilitate the development of venture philanthropy across the Asia Pacific region.

We envision an Asian philanthropy landscape that responds effectively to the resource needs of high-potential social purpose organizations (SPOs); a landscape where businesses, grant-makers, government funders and business schools collaborate to help SPOs deliver maximum social value.

AVPN will create a network of organizations practicing and supporting venture philanthropy in the Asia Pacific region. This network will support its members through peer learning and will promote venture philanthropy to the wider community, including private equity firms, hedge funds, grant-making foundations, universities, family offices and government-related institutions.

Over time we intend for venture philanthropy to be a well-established and respected segment of the philanthropy industry.
