Philanthropy here gets professional - August 28, 2010

Philanthropy here gets professional - August 28, 2010: "PHILANTHROPY in Singapore has reached an exciting phase of growth, as new trends and concepts could add breadth and depth to giving here. It is the beneficiary of Asia's strong growth, rising prosperity and the speed with which knowledge and information spreads today, both philanthropists and observers in the sector say. For a start, pockets have grown deeper. 'There has been a definite rise in the number of high net worth individuals in Asia, and with that we've seen a rising number of people keen to give from that wealth they've achieved,' says Cynthia D'Anjou-Brown, HSBC Private Bank's senior adviser on philanthropy and governance."
