CAPS is dedicated to improving the quality and quantity of philanthropy and social delivery organizations throughout Asia.

Incorporated at the end of 2013 in Hong Kong, the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS) is a uniquely Asian Centre dedicated to facilitating excellence in philanthropy. It promotes best practices and standards through its own research, capacity building and conferences and through partnership with its intermediary network. The Centre helps to improve governance and aid the efficacy of philanthropists and social delivery organizations working on education, health, environment and poverty alleviation in Asia. This work contributes a great deal to scale impact of social delivery organizations working on social change throughout the region.

CAPS conducts policy and applied research.

In collaboration with our research partners and local experts, CAPS has been conducting a landmark study to understand best practices specific to 30 excellent social delivery organizations (SDOs)—non-profits and social enterprises—across 11 Asian economies.
