Our Mission
Our aim is to work closely with clients to align their philanthropy with their objectives and desired outcomes. Through comprehensive networks and original research, we identify and conduct extensive due diligence on organisations and programmes before submitting a shortlist for client consideration. We strongly encourage our clients to visit the programmes we recommend, offering a unique level of engagement and insight.
Our Approach
We take a top-down approach to mitigate risk and ensure your investment is directed toward the right NGO and programme in an area where it will have maximum impact.
Our Risk Analysis and Opportunity Process
- Region – Research based on the client’s chosen country and type of programme.
- Country – Political and economic review, including full risk analysis and potential.
- Local Area – Assessment of needs, existing efforts, and local economy/government review.
- NGO – Comprehensive due diligence.
- Project – Evaluation of impact, sustainability, value for money, and short- and long-term outcomes.
Why Visiting NGOs Is Essential
One key factor that sets ASI apart is our commitment to visiting NGOs that meet the client’s criteria. These visits are vital for:
- Interviewing project workers, senior staff, donors, and beneficiaries.
- Assessing the impact of new or ongoing programmes.
- Evaluating environmental projects through expert analysis against similar initiatives and understanding their effects on local populations.
We are also equipped to operate in complex and challenging environments, ensuring that even the most ambitious philanthropic goals are met responsibly.
Empowering Major Donors
Our services cater to major donors who want to drive meaningful change in the shortest possible timeframe. Many of our clients choose to engage directly with the work they fund, gaining a deeper understanding of the issues and taking calculated risks to achieve significant outcomes.
Philanthropy Made Effective
While giving may seem simple, determining how, when, and to whom to give is far more challenging. Our goal is to significantly reduce investment risk, ensuring your contributions have the greatest possible impact.
