Scale your foundation’s impact with a trusted, professional implementing partner.
ASSIST works with philanthropic and family foundations as a trusted implementing partner for strategic, community-centered development across the Philippines and Asia, combining the rigor of a professional development organization with deep community roots and strong private sector networks. For foundations seeking locally-led, evidence-based programs that leverage co-investment and scale, we offer a compelling and distinctive partnership. Our Global Partnerships Team works directly with foundations from alignment through to impact.
Proven Implementation Capacity
300+ projects across 20+ countries, delivered with the governance standards, M&E rigor, and operational discipline that foundations require—in food security, agriculture, digital inclusion, disaster resilience, health, and livelihoods.
Co-design and Adaptation
Whether building on an existing program or designing something new, we bring sectoral depth, community insight, and a clear theory of change to every proposal—ensuring your grant investment is grounded in evidence and local reality.
Catalytic Private Sector Leverage
Our position bridging the private sector and civil society allows us to mobilize corporate co-funding and business networks alongside foundation grants—multiplying impact from the outset.
