JOB DESCRIPTION

Our members, across 13 markets, champion social innovation for public good, and pioneer collaborative approaches to address systemic challenges. Through our collective impact, APC aims to accelerate public good for a better Asia. We are a registered charity headquartered in Singapore. Founded by Asian philanthropists, APC furthers the aspiration for collective impact through peer exchanges, collaborative projects and the development of initiatives and knowledge resources to build the regional social impact ecosystem.
