Give2Asia, Focus: China
Give2Asia, a US-based 501(c)3 Public Charity, connects corporations, private foundations, and individual donors with local charitable organizations and projects across China. Since its inception in 2001, Give2Asia has facilitated more than $535 million in grants to more than 2,500 organizations across a broad range of issue areas. Give2Asia’s deep local knowledge, rich experience, and specialized local offices offer professional guidance and resources for donors to achieve their philanthropic goals. As a founding member of Myriad, the alliance for borderless giving, Give2Asia is part of a network with partners that make cross-border philanthropy possible around the world.
If Give2Asia has an established Friends Fund with a nonprofit, Fidelity Charitable donors can recommend grants to Give2Asia to further support those nonprofits for a fee. To learn which nonprofits already have Give2Asia Friends Funds, browse their Trusted Charities and Projects list here.
If Give2Asia does not have an established Friends Fund with the nonprofit, they may be able to establish a new relationship with the organization for an additional fee. Please request a consultation or contact Give2Asia directly at info@give2asia.org to learn if a nonprofit can be added and let them know that you would like to donate from your Fidelity Charitable Giving Account.
