Collaborative Philanthropy for Social Impact

AVPN has brought together six diverse funders to provide $933,000 of first-round funding for a Philanthropic Pooled Fund. This new fund is the first in Southeast Asia and represents a new approach to philanthropy that focuses on collaboration and partnerships to deliver more effective impact. Using the AVPN network of over 600 social investors, the fund will identify best-in-class organizations working in last-mile primary healthcare provision across Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia, deploying unrestricted grants to support the more equitable distribution of vaccinations and therapeutics in the short term, and build resilience against current and future pandemics in the long term.
