ABOUT THE ASIA FOUNDATION
The Asia Foundation is a nonprofit international development organization committed to improving lives across a dynamic and developing Asia. Informed by six decades of experience and deep local expertise, our programs address critical issues affecting Asia in the 21st century—governance and law, economic development, women's empowerment, environment, and regional cooperation. In addition, our Books for Asia and professional exchange programs are among the ways we encourage Asia's continued development as a peaceful, just, and thriving region of the world.
Headquartered in San Francisco, The Asia Foundation works through a network of offices in 18 Asian countries and in Washington, DC. Working with public and private partners, the Foundation receives funding from a diverse group of bilateral and multilateral development agencies, foundations, corporations, and individuals. In 2014, we provided more than $108 million in direct program support and distributed textbooks and other educational materials valued at over $11 million.
OUR APPROACH
Internationally recognized for our commitment to Asia's development, the Foundation brings together local individuals, communities, and governments who are shaping Asia's future.

OUR IMPACT
These are some of the ways we are improving lives and expanding opportunities:
  • Providing 48 million books to tens of thousands of schools, libraries, and universities.
  • Organizing nationwide election monitoring and voter education to ensure free and fair elections and strengthen democracy in virtually every Asian country that has undergone a democratic transition over the past six decades.
  • Educating more than a million migrant workers in over one thousand factories in China's Pearl River Delta on their legal rights, safety, and personal health.
  • Protecting the basic rights of women through our work to counter human trafficking, fight gender-based violence, increase political participation, and strengthen legal systems.
  • Providing life-changing professional opportunities for newly emerging Asian leaders.
  • Reducing the human and financial toll of natural disasters by equipping government officials, businesses, and community leaders in disaster planning and response.
  • Creating jobs by improving the business climate and reducing red tape for local entrepreneurs and small businesses.
  • Reducing violence through peacebuilding efforts in some of the most entrenched conflict zones in the region, including Southern Thailand, Pakistan, Mindanao, and Sri Lanka.
  • Conducting ground-breaking empirical surveys to assess the quality and responsiveness of government services, patterns of corruption, and levels of violence, including the most comprehensive public opinion poll in Afghanistan.
