SINGAPORE –
\nMedia OutReach Newswire<\/a> – 9 September 2025 – A
\nnew report<\/a> from
\nThe Bridgespan Group<\/a> \u2013 backed by its Funder’s Council, including the
\nInstitute of Philanthropy (IoP)<\/a>,
\nThe Rockefeller Foundation<\/a>, and the
\nGates Foundation<\/a> \u2013 reveals the world’s largest corporate givers and how they are driving scalable, lasting social impact. Among the 20 largest corporate givers globally, four Asian organisations \u2013 The Hong Kong Jockey Club and its Charities Trust (8), Samsung (12), Tencent (14) and China Three Gorges Corporation (20) \u2013 collectively contribute more than US$1.6 billion annually to philanthropic causes.<\/p>\n

“Companies describe their giving in many ways, from corporate social responsibility or ESG commitments to corporate sustainability efforts or as part of their core business purpose,” said Gwendolyn Lim, co-author and Bridgespan partner. “We use the term ‘corporate giving’ because it goes beyond traditional philanthropy to cover initiatives that support charitable activities that contribute positively to social and environmental outcomes.”\n<\/p>\n

This second report in a multi-year series \u2013 originally led by Bridgespan with the support of IoP \u2013 not only lists the largest corporate givers but also uncovers how and why they give and what distinguishes high-impact corporate philanthropy.\n<\/p>\n

“Corporate giving is no longer peripheral, it’s becoming central to how companies define success,” said Brian San, secretary-general of the Institute of Philanthropy. “The most forward-thinking firms embed social impact into their core strategy, not just their CSR teams. With scale, reach, and intent, corporate-led giving is uniquely positioned to drive meaningful change across diverse contexts.”\n<\/p>\n

Drawing on Bridgespan’s global experience and interviews with corporate-giving leaders, the report highlights how Asia’s philanthropic landscape diverges from global norms, shaped by distinct business structures and cultural dynamics:\n<\/p>\n
