Asia Summit 2026

Part 1 | Mapping the Road to Legacy: Multigenerational Giving in Asia (Invite only)

-

Across Asia, a generational wealth transfer is reshaping philanthropy, as family offices and next-generation leaders place greater emphasis on purpose, governance, and long-term impact. Philanthropy is evolving from ad hoc donations into structured legacy strategies, often embedded within family constitutions and investment frameworks. Younger philanthropists are driving interest in impact investing, collaborative giving, and values-led approaches, while women are emerging as especially influential stewards of philanthropic capital. As families seek to align wealth with purpose across generations, the challenge lies in balancing continuity with reinvention. How can families institutionalize values across generations? What role should next-gen leaders play in shaping giving strategies? How can legacy planning adapt to evolving social priorities?
