Throwback to August, when our team had the opportunity to attend an inspiring forum hosted by Yayasan Hasanah, bringing together changemakers, funders, and social enterprises from all over Malaysia. 💫 The conversations centred around Philanthropy that Listens—an approach that places communities at the heart of decision-making, ensuring support is built on understanding, empathy, and lived experience.

Across multiple sessions, speakers echoed the importance of grounding philanthropic work in real community insights. From discussions on responsive funding models to panels exploring co-creation with local stakeholders, each session reinforced that meaningful listening is essential for building trust, shaping relevant interventions, and achieving sustainable long-term impact. 💚

We extend our appreciation to for creating a valuable platform for dialogue and collaboration. 🤝🏻 Thank you for gathering diverse voices in the sector and fostering conversations that will continue to shape a more responsive and community-driven future.
