The People Who Built the Bridge
Our history is not ours alone.
For 25 years, donors and partners have helped shape Give2Asia and the impact we’ve made together. Hear from some of the people who have been part of that journey.
“Give2Asia and the Robert Chang Charitable Foundation were established at almost the same time, 25 years ago. Our Foundation wanted to support universities and high schools in China, particularly students who were eager to learn but faced financial difficulties.
Through an introduction from our financial advisor at Merrill Lynch, we began working with Give2Asia. They helped us identify suitable partners in China based on our philanthropic goals and provided comprehensive, end-to-end support—from reviewing proposals and assessing feasibility to facilitating face-to-face discussions, finalizing agreements, and helping us follow the progress of our grants.
Throughout our 25-year partnership, we have been consistently impressed by Give2Asia’s professionalism, efficiency, and ability to navigate complex circumstances while keeping our philanthropic goals at the center of the work.
Give2Asia has always found a way to overcome challenges and help us accomplish what we set out to do. After 25 years of working together, I am proud to recommend Give2Asia to other passionate donors who want to make a meaningful contribution in Asia and bring their own philanthropic vision to life.”
Allan Liu, The Robert N. Chang Charitable Foundation
Donor Since 2001
“Give2Asia has helped us achieve philanthropic goals that we could not have accomplished on our own. Over nearly two decades, I have especially appreciated their responsiveness, timely communication, and flexibility in supporting the projects that matter to us. I hope Give2Asia will continue to be there for our projects for many years to come.”

“Feeding Hong Kong is on a mission to feed people, not landfills. Our partnership with Give2Asia began in 2020, when their support helped us secure funding for our COVID-19 emergency food program and provide urgent food staples to vulnerable communities. Since then, Give2Asia has continued to connect us with new funding opportunities and a wider community of donors, most recently supporting our Together for Tai Po campaign. It is heartening to work with an organization that shares our commitment to creating impact in Asia, and we look forward to continuing our partnership in the years ahead.”
Gabrielle Kirstein, Founder & CEO, Feeding Hong Kong
Partner since 2020
“Many of the charitable organizations we want to support in Taiwan are not qualified U.S. 501(c)(3) organizations. Give2Asia has helped facilitate giving from our U.S. private foundation to organizations in Taiwan, making it possible for us to support the causes and communities that matter to us.”

Donor since 2012
“Give2Asia has been a valued partner in helping CAF America support our donors’ initiatives across China. From the establishment of the CAF America Health Fund for China in 2020 to the launch of the CAF America Education Fund in 2026, our work together reflects a shared commitment to connecting donors with meaningful opportunities for impact. We congratulate Give2Asia on 25 years and look forward to continuing our partnership in the years ahead.”
Benjamin Tschida, Director of Corporate Services, CAF America
Partner since 2020
“Many times in life, we wish we could make an impact that benefits others, but those desires can be thwarted when the know-how is lacking beyond simply writing a check. Give2Asia allowed my family to be creative and proactive in bringing our philanthropic goals to life. Our work in Cambodia would never have occurred without their knowledge, guidance, and commitment to helping others in need. We remain deeply grateful to everyone at Give2Asia for their support over the years. Here’s to many more years of success!”
The Raskin Family, Cambodian School Project
Donor since 2012
“First of all, congratulations to Give2Asia on 25 incredible years! We are truly honored to have been part of this journey as a partner. We are especially grateful to Give2Asia for connecting Harmony Home Taiwan with supporters around the world and helping us expand the reach and impact of our work.”
Allen Y.C. Lü, Harmony Home Foundation, Taiwan
Partner since 2018
“Give2Asia made it possible for students in Ping Yuan, China to receive meaningful scholarship support without the usual barriers or complexities of cross‑border giving. Their on‑the‑ground partnerships ensured that every scholarship reached the students who needed it most. Thanks to this collaboration, TLC Charities supported 135 students over six years. We are profoundly grateful for Give2Asia’s role in helping these young people continue their education and build brighter futures.“
