Partners Asia

Oakland, California, 94612-2709 United States

Mission Statement

Partners Asia forges relationships with local leaders who work to serve the needs of “invisible” populations—refugees, migrants, ethnic minorities, LGBTQI,—living primarily along the Thailand-Myanmar border. We elevate the work of these local groups and support them as they grow. We do not “help” our partners. Instead, we listen to what they say they need, and follow their lead. We partner. And we bridge the gap between local organizations and global funding.

About This Cause

For 20 years, we have championed a model of philanthropy that turns-the-tables on traditional power dynamics. This is by design. We want to make sure that marginalized groups have the confidence, skills, and influence they need to survive and thrive. And the power to do it. This means that our work is more than dollars. We build-up local initiatives, weave coalitions of like-minded local organizations, and educate others on how to shift their philanthropic practices towards more equal and inclusive partnerships. By taking an approach that goes beyond just projects and funding, we play the long game. And we build a platform for solidarity and real power.
