Part 2 | Venture Philanthropy and Beyond: The Rise of Strategic Tools in Giving (Invite only)

As social and environmental challenges grow in complexity, philanthropists across Asia are increasingly exploring approaches that complement traditional grantmaking. From venture philanthropy and catalytic capital to outcomes-based financing, prizes, and blended finance, strategic tools are creating new pathways to accelerate innovation, strengthen ecosystems, and attract additional sources of capital. This private conversation will examine where these approaches are delivering results—and where they are falling short. Participants will share lessons from deploying different forms of capital, discuss how to measure success beyond financial returns, and explore how philanthropy can play a unique role in de-risking ideas, convening partners, and catalyzing solutions that neither markets nor governments can achieve alone.
