Introduction To
The Fund
The fund was established to catalyse interventions in response to the disruption and dislocation caused by COVID-19. The fund focuses on organizations working in one of three areas: communities, opportunities, and heroes. It will be focused on priority geographies within Asia Pacific. Through the deployment of flexible funding and partnership support, the fund’s goal is that Non-Profit Organisations (NPO) on the frontlines of COVID-19 will be better able to respond to the needs of their communities and ensure strong, positive impact.
