THE OPPORTUNITY:

The HALO Trust invites proposals from consultants and strategic advisors to guide a pivotal phase of our global growth. We are seeking a strategic partner to design and deliver a comprehensive market-entry roadmap for philanthropic engagement in the Asia-Pacific region.

STRATEGIC CONTEXT:

The HALO Trust is exploring the expansion of its philanthropic fundraising strategy into the Asia-Pacific region. Initial internal work has identified Australia and Singapore as primary focus countries, with early insights on donor landscapes, legal frameworks and HALO’s existing networks. HALO is now seeking a consultant to lead a focused 4-month scoping phase to further inform the country prioritisation, stakeholder engagement and long-term philanthropic strategy in the region.

The consultant will consolidate existing insights, address critical knowledge gaps and support HALO in developing a strategic roadmap for philanthropic engagement in Australia and Singapore (and, if relevant, advise on sequencing of other markets such as New Zealand, Japan and South Korea). This includes prioritising countries, advising on legal/operational feasibility and mapping philanthropic ecosystems to inform HALO’s market entry strategy.
