Family Capital = Institutional Capital: How can we leverage power of Family Capital for Catalytic Philanthropy towards Impact and Transformation
Wed 17 Sep 2025, 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm (GMT+8:00)
Impact Lab 2 (Level 4 Suntec Convention Centre)
As the boundaries between philanthropic intent and institutional strategy blur, family capital is increasingly stepping into roles once held by large foundations and multilateral agencies. More than just financial contributors, family offices bring long-term vision, intergenerational values, and the agility to take risks that institutional players often avoid. This session will explore how family capital can match, complement, and even redefine the role of institutional capital in advancing catalytic philanthropy.
Featuring insights from pioneering foundations, family offices, and institutional investors, including a keynote contribution, the discussion will highlight models where family capital has driven systemic transformation—from education to climate resilience and social equity. It will examine how family offices can evolve beyond funders to become field builders, mobilising blended finance, co-creating with communities, and influencing policy change.
