High Impact Philanthropy Webinar

Date: Wednesday, 30 September 2020

Time: 10:00am – 11:00am (HK / SG)

12:00pm – 1:00pm (SYD/MEL)

It was our pleasure to invite you to join us for the inaugural episode of our newly-minted ‘High Impact’ webinar series, where we took a close look at some of the most compelling philanthropic and impact investing themes to inspire you as an agents of social change.

We kicked off the series by turning our focus to high impact philanthropy. Whether you are a budding philanthropist or a seasoned donor, how do you generate impact in your giving? What are the tools available to support you as you invest your wealth, time and energies in your bid to create a better future?

This webinar showcased a real-life story of how an individual donor sets into motion a High Impact cycle, involving traditional philanthropy, venture philanthropy and impact investing. The webinar also featured a successful case study on leveraging technology to disrupt the way aid is delivered to end-beneficiaries.
