About Real Impact Advisors

Real Impact Advisors (RIA) is a philanthropy and impact advisory that aims to help communities thrive, create systems that work, and ensure lasting sustainability in Asia. We work with funders to create strategies that suit them, and support their partners with capacity building for transformational change and growth. We help international foundations and NGOs navigate the Asian markets, connecting them with the right partners through our extensive network, and effectively maneuver the cultural and regulatory landscape. RIA also designs, catalyses and creates new initiatives and solutions to address broken systems and complex issues in the social and environment sectors. We help you create catalytic transformation that has Real Impact. WHO WE WORK WITH We work behind the scenes with organisations and funders seeking to grow their impact in Asia. These organisations include Asia-based networks, foundations and NGOs, as well as ex-Asia organisations which aim to find partners or build their own programmes in the region. We are big believers in building and facilitating stronger infrastructure for philanthropy and impact in Asia, bringing in specialists and other partners as needed, feeding a virtuous cycle for the growing impact community.
