Projects with purpose

Throughout Southeast and East Asia, the grantees and institutions we fund are involved in stimulating, life-changing work.

Their goals are as varied as the countries in which they work: enhancing food and water security, managing the risk from avian influenza, safeguarding natural resources, influencing policy change to promote inclusive growth, harnessing science and innovation to reduce poverty, and more.

Our projects—both past and present—can be searched by program and by theme.
