What will it take for nonprofits in Southeast Asia to move from sustaining their work to strengthening and scaling their impact?

Across Southeast Asia, nonprofits play a critical role in delivering services, shaping policy, and responding to evolving community needs. Yet, findings from Bridgespan’s first in-depth study of nonprofits in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore suggest that many organisations are caught in a cycle of constrained growth—with enough resources to operate, but not enough to invest in long-term organisational strength.

In this webinar, Bridgespan will share new evidence on the structural challenges that limit nonprofit effectiveness and outlines five practical shifts in funding practices and ecosystem support needed to strengthen their ability to achieve their missions. The research draws on a survey of more than 160 nonprofit leaders across the region, in-country workshops, interviews, and Bridgespan’s decades of experience working with nonprofits globally.

At a time of rising philanthropic ambition alongside pressing social needs, the research offers a practical agenda for funders, intermediaries, and nonprofits to strengthen the conditions for sustained, scalable impact across Southeast Asia.

Join this webinar to learn:

• What new data reveals about the structural challenges limiting nonprofit growth across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore
• The five practical shifts in funding and ecosystem practices that can enable stronger, more durable impact
• How funders, intermediaries, and nonprofits can act on these insights to support the sector’s next phase of growth

This webinar will be moderated by Bridgespan’s Keeran Sivarajah; guest speakers will be announced soon.
