The book has distilled key lessons from seven years of in-depth engagement with APC members; it features 31 case studies of Asia-based philanthropists, bringing the reality of giving on the ground in Asia to you.By presenting different approaches to philanthropy, best-in-class models and examples, as well as practical insights from APC members and learnings from APC projects, you will be well-equipped to explore and expand your giving in Asia.
