Grantees are asked to measure, report, deliver, and prove their value. But what about the funder?
At IMPACT WEEK, Asia Community Foundation and NO.17 Foundation will convene a closed-door gathering of funders, family offices and philanthropists around ACF's first regional study on funding practices.
Drawing on more than 100 impact organisations and funders surveyed across Asia, the session turns the mirror around — from grantee performance to funder practice.
Together, participants will explore how restricted funding, short horizons and low trust can limit impact, and how greater flexibility, long-term partnership and deeper confidence in grantees can strengthen it, without compromising accountability.
More than a presentation of findings, this session is a rare space for funders to reflect on their own beliefs and funding practices, and learn from one another.
