Collaborative Giving in Southeast Asia 2025
How can Southeast Asia unlock the full potential of collaborative giving?
This report—supported by the Gates Foundation and UBS Optimus Foundation—explores the rise of philanthropic collaboratives in Southeast Asia. While half of the collaboratives we’ve tracked in the region only launched in the past three years, and they tend to be smaller than their global peers, their rapid growth signals powerful potential. Drawing on interviews and case studies, the report identifies common success factors—from strong value propositions to trust-building among funders—and offers practical guidance on how to deepen impact.
