Freelance Copy Writer/ Sub-Editor Wanted at Asian Venture Philantrophy Network (remuneration: S$1,000 per month)
The Asian Venture Philanthropy Network (AVPN) is looking for a part-time, freelance copy-writer and sub-editor to provide content for its website, internet channels (e.g. Facebook LinkedIn, specialist blog posts), periodic newsletters and general email updates.

The relevant content will cover venture philanthropy, strategic philanthropy, impact investing and social investment. The primary perspective will be that of the “supply side” of resources (money, time and expertise/knowhow) to social purpose organisations. However, developments in social entrepreneurship, social enterprise and socially responsible businesses will also be important.

The primary geographic coverage will be Asia (particularly India, China, Hong Kong, Singapore and other South East Asian economies) but AVPN links Asia to global developments in venture philanthropy and coverage of best practices and key developments in Europe and North America (and elsewhere) is also important
