The
Index serves as a unique and useful body of data for Asian governments, as well
as for nonprofits, foundations and charities in Asia, to learn from each other.
At a time when policy is evolving, the social sector is growing, and interest
in philanthropy is rapidly developing, the DGI shows the potential for Asia to
leapfrog and become a leader in social innovation.

If
the right regulatory and tax policies were in place, Asian philanthropists
could give over US$500 billion, contributing to the US$1.4 trillion annual price
tag needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
