SymAsia Foundation is set up as an umbrella foundation. Under this umbrella, clients in Asia Pacific can establish their own “sub-foundations”, enjoy exclusive naming rights, determine the charitable causes they wish to pursue, and the ultimate beneficiaries of their donations. Through their sub-foundations, also known as Donor Advised Funds, clients select their own philanthropic causes and give whenever, wherever and however much they wish.
