Practicing Strategic Philanthropy: Notes from the Field

Wong presents an action-research-based model for strategic philanthropy in Asia, outlining a comprehensive five-stage process: assessment, design, implementation, reflection, and learning. He critically contrasts "inside-out" and "outside-in" strategies, advocating for transdisciplinary, iterative processes and the development of adaptive competencies. The framework aims to guide philanthropic efforts towards more effective and sustainable social impact in the Asian context.
