Podcast - [Impact Talks] Eps. 4 - How Corporate Philanthropy Can Power Impact Investing

In this episode of Impact Talks by Indonesia Impact Alliance, we examine the evolving role of corporate philanthropy in ASEAN amid declining global donor funding and increasing expectations for locally driven development financing.

The conversation features Kithmina Hewage, Senior Advisor at the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS), and is hosted by Atika Benedikta, Executive Director of Indonesia Impact Alliance (IIA).

The discussion explores how corporate philanthropy in ASEA can move beyond traditional CSR approaches to more strategic, long-term, and catalytic engagement that supports social enterprises and complements impact investing.
