FOREWORDIt’s my very great pleasure to welcome you to AVPN’s first annual conference. I am pleased to say that the conference was oversubscribed and we have delegates from over 30 countries.

I would like to thank our speakers and panelists. We have 76 speakers from 18 countries. These are all very experienced and senior individuals who have committed their time and traveled thousands of miles to share their knowledge with us. So why are we here – the short summary is that we are all committed to driving social change using our financial capital, our human and intellectual capital, and our networks. Venture philanthropy/social investment can improve outcomes in any area of social need including children, environment, education, health, economic empowerment etc. So how can each of us obtain the most value from the conference?

As a new organisation, we are pleased with our progress but we are just scratching the surface. Please help us engage with others so that the network can become both wider and deeper.

Last but not least I want to thank the AVPN team for the tremendous effort they have made in putting this conference together along with the other work they have done with workshops, webinars, and general membership services. With a combined staff of only 4 you can only imagine how hard the team has had to work.

I hope you find this a productive and enjoyable conference and look forward to further engagement with you.

Interactive Panel: Creating Social ImpactVenue: MRA, Level 5

Moderator Harvey Koh Director Monitor Deloitte

Asia is beginning to show a keen awareness of venture philanthropy and impact investing and there is a wide range of philanthropic and commercial interest. How do we bring together common interests, concepts, networks and resources to deliver greater social impact? How do we harness such potential?

Drawing on key points from Monitor’s report “From Blueprint to Scale”, moderator Harvey Koh will kick off the discussion on the phenomenon of the early-stage ‘pioneer gap’ and how philanthropy can bridge this so that new business models can emerge to absorb return-seeking capital. He will pose the question: how do we best harness both philanthropic and return-seeking capital between philanthropists providing early stage risk capital and mainstream investors and what can be done to bridge these sources of funding.

PROGRAMME - BREAK-OUTS REGIONAL

11:55 - 12:55

Regional Insights - Greater ChinaVenue: Room 4.1, Level 4

Moderator Ding Li Vice President Non-Profit Incubator

China’s philanthropic sector is still at a nascent stage and mainly consists of government-operated NGOs and charity foundations, grassroots NGOs and social enterprises, which all lack financial and technical support. Since it is still a relatively blank canvas, China can learn much from other more developed communities and possibly leapfrog a few stages to more innovative approaches of philanthropy and social investment. Local experts feel that venture philanthropy can act as an effective way to introduce entrepreneurship and institutional capacity building into the philanthropy sector, leverage on private sector and government support, and to promote cross-sector collaboration. This session will give an overview of the philanthropy sector in China and discuss how venture philanthropy can help to change local mind-sets.

Regional Insights - South AsiaVenue: Room 6.1, Level 6

South Asia is one of the poorest regions in the world and philanthropy has a key role to play in addressing poverty and other related problems there, especially because governments do not have the resources to address these challenges by themselves. Foreign social investors have an important role in the region in guiding their counterparts in the region, who are not as experienced as themselves. Venture philanthropy and social investing is taking off in a big way in the Indian subcontinent and this session will examine ways of overcoming the legal obstacles, challenges and finding opportunities for collaboration in this sector.

11:55 - 12:55

Regional Insights - Southeast AsiaVenue: MRA, Level 5

Moderator Watanan Petersik Founder Asia Capital Advisory

Southeast Asia is witnessing an increasing interest in venture philanthropy. Clubbed together as one region, there are, however, significant differences between countries in Southeast Asia in terms of legal systems, varying forms of support from government, and the nature of philanthropy. How do investors in the region collaborate with peers from outside, and in what capacity? What are some of the trends being witnessed in this space in Southeast Asia?

Sector Drilldown - WaterVenue: Dining Room, Level 14

Moderator Srabani Roy Director, Environment Programs The Asia Foundation

Over the last decade or so, problems pertaining to water have come to the fore and have finally captured the imagination of philanthropists, among others. Water is our most important natural resource, and yet, carelessness coupled with a lack of adequate awareness has made water scarcity and water pollution pressing concerns that can affect the way the coming generations live their lives. There are problems relating to scarcity, water pollution, inadequate sanitation facilities, and poor wastewater management practices. Can micro level solutions work in the context of water? What framework do philanthropic organisations in this space work in? What difference can philanthropy make in addressing this global challenge?

Sector Drilldown - HealthcareVenue: Room 6.1, Level 6

There is a huge gap in Asia’s developing economies between the need for healthcare services at all levels and the current delivery. Major gaps also exist in the developed economies. A re-thinking is needed of the provision of healthcare and the roles played by the commercial sector, non-profits and government so that the system in each country is fit-for-purpose in the long term. Radical changes are required and the funding of innovation and risk taking can be led by venture philanthropists. The success of visionary philanthropists and risk taking social investors, with relatively small amounts of capital, can lead to far reaching policy and behaviour changes that bring much larger government and private sector investments.

Sector Drilldown - Children and EducationVenue: Room 4.1, Level 4

Moderator Amitav Virmani Country Director ARK India

The lack of quality or indeed any education is one of the primary causes of poverty in developing Asia, and by that same token there is a positive correlation between education and greater economic growth and progress. At an individual level, education plays a critical role in shaping people’s lives and it empowers them by giving them livelihood choices. What are some of the key factors to bear in mind when dealing in this area of work? What forms of investment and/ or interventions are best suited to provide the best outcomes?

Sector Drilldown - Expanding Financial InclusionVenue: MRA, Level 5

One of the main areas of focus for philanthropy organisations and other non-profits has been financial inclusion. With the proliferation of microfinance in lesser developed economies globally, financial inclusion has come to the fore as a key plank for poverty alleviation and economic development. What are some of the key challenges for organisations investing in this space? What role can philanthropy organisations play in bringing about financial inclusion? What kinds of projects/ companies are philanthropy organisations looking to back in this sector?

Toolkits - Impact AssessmentVenue: Room 6.1, Level 6

Moderator Jeremy Nicholls Chief Executive OfficerThe SROI Network

Funders are becoming more astute in assessing their giving. Dollar amounts are seldom the focal criteria today when measuring the scope of one’s philanthropy. Social impact and assessment have become the new benchmark, yet there is still immense confusion and debate around the motivations, methodologies, application and relevance. This session will provide an overview of the current social impact assessment landscape, introduce some key methods and principles, and explore how and why social impact assessment matters so much to venture philanthropy.

15:25 - 16:25

Toolkits - FundraisingVenue: MRA, Level 5

Both venture philanthropy and social impact investing are relatively new in Asia and so there is not a long term track record of success (or failure!) for most venture philanthropy organisations and impact investment managers. This means that both the funders and the managers they are seeking to fund are new and relatively inexperienced. This toolkit looks at the current fund raising environment, where funders are seeking to deploy their capital, the relative importance and differences between institutional funding and high net worth funding, provides examples of successful fund raisers and invites the audience to ask for tips from the practitioners on the panel.

Toolkits - Mobilizing Human CapitalVenue: Dining Room, Level 14

Moderator Francis Ngai Founder Social Ventures Hong Kong

An organisation’s key assets are its people, especially in the area of philanthropy. Venture philanthropy and social investment organisations require people with skill sets different to those working in either government or the corporate sector, in fact a blend of private and social sector skills are required. Is it harder or more difficult to find people with the right skills? There is extensive use of volunteers in this industry – what are the pros and cons of that? Where do organisations in this space seek their talent from? How can we effectively mobilise private sector skills to the social sector?

Toolkits - Effective Due DiligenceVenue: Room 4.1, Level 4

An investment by a venture philanthropist is a long-term commitment to an organization. It is critical to be informed and updated about the internal and external factors that will affect an investee’s performance. Yet the due diligence needed has to surmount the obstacles of space, time, availability, relevance, and transparency. Investee organisations have their own challenges to overcome as due diligence subjects. How should due diligence be conducted to effectively support a venture philanthropy relationship? What are the resources available to investors and investees to facilitate effective due diligence? How should venture philanthropists effectively utilize due diligence information? This session explores the challenges of conducting quality due diligence.

Moderator Cliff Prior Chief Executive OfficerUnLtd

Venture Philanthropy commentators, including AVPN, have often cited organisations like Impetus Trust (UK), Private Equity Foundation (UK), New Profit (US) and Social Venture Partners (US) as leading practitioners of VP and Social Investment (SI). These organisations in turn operate in a different context that impact their overall effectiveness. What does the leading edge of venture philanthropy or social investment look like outside of Asia?

Interactive Panel: Engaging GovernmentsVenue: MRA, Level 5

Moderator Benedict Cheong Chief Executive Officer Temasek Foundation

In the major developed economies governments are facing budget cuts and the realisation they need to create far greater social impact from every dollar spent. Governments, businesses and citizens in Asia are looking at the models of developed economies and asking: how best do we provide for long term social welfare? Venture philanthropy has an important problem solving role working in collaboration with government and the social sector. The North American and European panelists will share their experience of successfully engaging with government to promote innovation and accountability. The audience will be called upon to contrast this with their experience and expectations in Asia.

Interactive Panel: Families in Venture Philanthropy Venue: MRA, Level 5

Collaboration is integral to the success of philanthropic work. Partnering with different stakeholders however has its own nuances and challenges. For family foundations that use the venture philanthropy model, how do they collaborate and engage with their partners, i.e. social organisation, in demonstrating their families’ philanthropic values? This interactive session puts the spotlight on family foundations and their supporting social organisations (investor-investee). Our panel will share how the relationship between investor-investee is more than transactional; the challenges and pitfalls in their journey together, and how to jointly serve the public good.

Most of all, we want to give our deepest gratitude to our volunteers, many of whom are lending their time, resources and efforts because they share our vision to make a vibrant and high impact venture philanthropy community across Asia.

We are grateful to Ms. Elisa Kang for lending her enthusiasm at the conference and also in helping with our preparations. Thank you to our lead partners, Lien Centre for Social Innovation and National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre for their content, venue and all round support.

Not forgetting our volunteers – thank you Christine Driscoll and the students from INSEAD, Prisca Lim and NUS, Michelle Lim from Chatsworth Media Academy, and many others that we do not have the space to name. All your contributions have come together to reflect what venture philanthropy means.

Last but not least, Thank you to the speakers, many of whom have flown thousands of miles to Singapore in order to share with the rest of the social investment and philanthropy community.

Thank you all for coming and engaging with us!
