What Donors and Grantees Say About Us

Longstanding trust, meaningful experiences, and proven reliability

“Give2Asia has played a crucial role in helping Flex Foundation align our philanthropic values with high-impact projects. Their deep regional knowledge, due diligence processes, and strong local networks have enabled us to support community-focused initiatives that align with our core values of sustainability, equity, and innovation. In contexts where compliance and trust are essential—such as in China—Give2Asia has provided us with a reliable, mission-aligned partner to navigate operational and legal complexities while still achieving tangible impact.”

— Flex Foundation

“We believe the reliable, professional, and seamless experience Give2Asia provides is a key factor in fostering donor confidence for repeat giving, especially for donors utilizing corporate channels or donor-advised funds. For any Asia-based nonprofit seeking funding from the U.S. without its own U.S. tax-exempt entity, the Friends Fund program is the efficient, reliable, and low-risk standardized solution available. It turns complex international philanthropy compliance into a manageable, standardized process.”

— Future Science Awards Foundation Limited

“By co-developing and co-implementing projects with Give2Asia and corporate donors, AiEr Foundation has expanded into areas previously unexplored. This not only broadened the scope of our foundation’s initiatives but also extended its reach to a wider range of beneficiaries. Through our collaboration with Give2Asia, AiEr Foundation gained valuable insights into the operational models of international philanthropic organizations, providing important experience for diversifying our fundraising channels.”

— AiEr Foundation

“We value the responsiveness and professionalism of Give2Asia’s team. Communication is clear, timely, and transparent, and the staff consistently takes the time to understand our goals while offering informed recommendations rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.”

Perspectives From Our Team

Voices from Give2Asia’s locally based experts and leadership

Local Expertise & Regulatory Insight

“Give2Asia’s value stems from our deep, longstanding relationships within China’s philanthropic ecosystem. Over the years, we have built trust with local partners, government agencies, and community organizations — trust that is essential for any successful cross-border collaboration. Our team stays closely informed about China’s regulatory environment, allowing us to guide donors with clarity and confidence. Every project we support is backed by rigorous due diligence, cultural understanding, and alignment with local priorities. This ensures not just compliance, but truly meaningful impact.”

— Carol Yang, Vice President & China Chief Representative

Due Diligence & Accountability

“At Give2Asia, due diligence is not just a process — it is a promise. Our responsibility is to ensure that every donor contribution is used responsibly, transparently, and in alignment with both local regulations and donor intent. We have developed rigorous systems to assess partners, monitor projects, and provide clear reporting at every stage. This commitment to accountability is why donors trust us, and why community organizations value our support. Reliable due diligence is the foundation of effective cross-border philanthropy, and we are proud to uphold that standard every day.”

— Tan Jun, Chief Operating Officer

Navigating CSR in China

“Corporate philanthropy in China requires an understanding of both compliance and strategic alignment. We work with companies to develop programs that support employee engagement, community needs, and regulatory requirements — helping global teams implement meaningful CSR initiatives with confidence.”

— Tiffany Cao, Senior Philanthropy Advisor

Amplifying Nonprofit Reach

“For many nonprofits in China, establishing a U.S. 501(c)(3) entity is not realistic. Friends Funds provide a trusted, transparent pathway for these organizations to receive support from abroad. Our team works closely with partners to ensure compliance, strengthen donor relationships, and highlight the transformative work happening on the ground.”

— Cao Muhan, Program Manager
