EMpower, in collaboration with the Marshall Institute at the London School of Economics, presented the second conversation in the three-part webinar series "New Avenues in Philanthropy."
This session spotlighted the evolving landscape of Asian philanthropy, bringing together diverse voices from across the region—individual and corporate donors alike—to explore the trends, values, and leadership shaping giving in Asia today.
From the outset, the discussion carried a sense of urgency, honesty, and possibility, highlighting the evolving role of Asian philanthropy in shaping global giving.
Together, we explored themes of bold, heart-led giving, trust-based approaches, and the powerful convergence of tradition, lived experience, and ambition in driving a new wave of philanthropic leadership across Asia. If you missed the session, you can watch the full recording here.
