AVPN Background
The Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) is growing and developing the venture philanthropy movement across the Asia Pacific region. AVPN is building on the success of the European Venture Philanthropy Association, which has more than 140 members in 20 countries.
We promote venture philanthropy in the broader philanthropic and social investment communities and provide specific networking and learning services to meet the needs of our members.
AVPN is a non-profit organisation based in Singapore with membership across the Asian region. We are supported by grant funding, sponsors and partner organisations.
We are building a cross-sector network bringing together organisations and individuals from finance, business and the social sector. Our members include venture philanthropy organisations (practicing members) and associates that bring different networks, expertise and experience.
Associate Members include private equity managers, private banks, wealth managers, other financial services organisations, professional service firms, family businesses, corporations through their CSR activities, foundations, universities and government related entities.
We are the hub for news and events focused on venture philanthropy to develop shared learning and best practices. Through our Knowledge Centre we are developing practitioner oriented resources to help scale the practice of venture philanthropy across Asia.
We encourage you to engage with us and support our field building activities through sponsorship, grants, donations, or joining as a member or partner organisation. Please contact us if you have specific enquiries.
