MAKING AN IMPACT: REAL SOLUTIONS FOR COMPLEX PROBLEMS

WE HELP YOU CREATE REAL IMPACT

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

RIA /ˈriːə/ adjective​
INDONESIAN, MALAY definition:
cheerful, joy

Real Impact Advisors (RIA) is a philanthropy and impact advisory that aims to help communities thrive, create systems that work, and ensure lasting sustainability in Asia.

We work with funders to create strategies that suit them, and support their partners with capacity building for transformational change and growth. We help international foundations and NGOs to navigate the Asian markets, connecting them with the right partners through our extensive network, and effectively maneuver the cultural and regulatory landscape.

RIA also designs, catalyses and creates new initiatives and solutions to address broken systems and complex issues in the social and environment sectors.

We help you create Real Impact that makes a difference. 

OUR STORY

Real Impact Advisors was co-founded by Stacey Choe and Natalie Kennedy, who collectively have more than 30 years’ experience in the philanthropy and impact sector in Asia. What they realised in their many years of working with Asian philanthropists, international foundations and Asia-based NGOs is that whilst there are many who want to contribute, many are often unsure about where and how to deliver real impact. Now we, Real Impact Advisors, are here to help.
