This
year, Asia Catalyst celebrates five years of helping to build grassroots groups
in East and Southeast Asia. As part of our
“New Generation of Leaders” 5th
Anniversary Campaign, our board of directors has generously promised to match your donations dollar for dollar. That means a donation of $100 doubles to $200, and $500 will double to $1000! Please make a tax-deductible gift
here.
Your gift of $100 or more gets you a lovely gift book — with photos and background on our inspiring partners in China and Southeast Asia.
