?? While #trust-based philanthropy has gained traction in the West since 2019, it remains largely overlooked?in Asia. What might be the reason?? ? In our joint publication with McKinsey & Company, “Examining Trust and Measurement in Asian Philanthropy”, we dive into the unique dynamics of trust in philanthropy across the Asian landscape.? ? One potential reason for this is that?many Asian foundations have long embraced a?more collaborative approach between funders and grantees.?? ? The report highlights that “trust” in the context of philanthropy can be framed beyond the traditional funder-grantee relationship in Asia:? ? 1. Adopt a relational approach? →?Asian philanthropists often prefer to partner with organisations they know personally or those connected to key stakeholders. This preference fosters a more engaged and effective partnership.? ? 2. Trust in collaborative processes? →?Many Asian funders acknowledge the limits of their expertise and actively seek to co-create interventions and approaches to measure impact with various partners, rather than just provide unrestricted funds.? ? 3. Build trust through transparency?? → Trust is cultivated through transparency. In Asia, foundations are increasingly sharing data and insights to enhance accountability and mitigate reputational risks. The broader expectation for transparency influences both grantmaking and impact measurement practices.?? ? Eager to learn more?
