Give2Asia is an international nonprofit organization that connects corporations, foundations, and individuals with charitable projects and social enterprises across Asia.

Give2Asia's work focuses on key issues such as healthcare, the environment, disaster preparedness and relief, and poverty alleviation.

They work mostly with individuals, families, foundations and corporations to establish a social responsibility and philanthropy presence in Asia.^[2]

Cargill Foundation, Caterpillar, Deshpande Foundation, EMC, Facebook, PEPSI, Qualcomm, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Starbucks, State Street, Steamboat Ventures, and Synopsis. Give2Asia provides on-the-ground research in each country, including thorough due diligence on grantees, meeting U.S. regulations for international grant making, and ensuring adherence to local laws in recipient countries. They enable employee giving and matching, volunteerism, and tax-deductible giving to charitable groups in Asia from the United States or Hong Kong. Give2Asia guides projects to completion, expanding the capacity of corporate foundation and community engagement teams.^[3]
