The Asia Foundation’s Lotus Leadership Awards recognize outstanding individuals and organizations for their contributions towards gender equality and empowering women in Asia and the Pacific. The awards are hosted annually by the Lotus Circle, a vibrant and diverse community of philanthropists supporting The Asia Foundation in our work to strengthen economic, social, and political rights and opportunities for women and girls across Asia and the Pacific.
Working with our 17 country offices and local partners, The Asia Foundation’s Women’s Empowerment and Gender Equality program draws on our collective networks and expertise to invest Lotus Circle Funds strategically to transform the lives of women, girls, and their communities across Asia and the Pacific.
