Make a life-changing impact today
Donor Advised Funds
Dana Asia is experienced at working with donors who wish to develop charitable endowments and offer ongoing donations to projects over time for those wishing to outsource (in-part or in-full), the management of their donations. Alternatively, funds can be established as part of a legacy or bequest. We strive to work with donors to develop their ideas into a project that is not only effective and sustainable, but also brings life-changing, long-lasting impact to marginalised communities.
A team of experts at your disposal
Our team will provide expert guidance on all charitable activity ranging from social impact in the fields of education or health through to microfinance and social business projects.
Dana Asia knows how to ensure your donation will make a lasting, positive social impact that will change many people’s lives and their communities for the better.
Donor Advised Funds best practice case studies
Dana Asia is responsible for advising this donor on responsible and impactful investment opportunities to meet his philanthropic remit. As such, Dana Asia has managed the Endowment Fund for this private donor for several years.
Each year, based on his diverse interests, Dana Asia presents proposals for funding allocation towards project development, which the donor ratifies.
Dana Asia provides regular project updates to the donor to demonstrate the measurable and ongoing positive impact derived from the funds allocated.
- US$3.4 million in microfinance loans issued since inception.
- 10,000 entrepreneurs successfully launched businesses, thanks to microfinance loans.
- 97% of borrowers are empowered women.
Dana Asia will continue to recycle microfinance loans to new borrowers to give more entrepreneurs the opportunity to realise their earning potential and create thriving microeconomies within Metro Manila’s most impoverished communities to lift GDP at a community-level.
We will also present new, community-relevant projects to the donor each year for consideration to ensure the endowment fund continues achieving high-impact outcomes.
Dana Asia has worked with this donor based in Japan for several years to make recommendations for project funding, based on her extensive philanthropic interests.
This particular donor has a passion for education, with a particular focus on Cambodia, and Dana Asia has worked to meet her aspirations through school building projects and scholarship programs.
- 5 school buildings have been constructed in rural Cambodian villages.
- More than 1,000 students have been given a safe place to study.
- 50 scholarships have been awarded for high school and university level studies in 10 further education institutes.
We are currently working with the donor to develop a new Dana Asia managed university scholarship program to be offered to the graduating students of one of the donor’s supported high schools.
This takes the journey in this donor’s support one step further, meeting her dreams of having long-term impact on these young peoples’ lives.
