Founded in 1998 during the Asian Financial Crisis, ADM Capital initially focused on distressed debt opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region.

About ADM Capital Foundation
ADMCF was established in 2006 as a non-profit to apply innovative and replicable models of funding to address environmental and social challenges across Asia that emerged with the Asian growth story over the past two decades.
To achieve results, RESEARCH is the first step in our “theory of change”, helping us identify the specific environmental challenge and solution within our key programmatic areas. We then CONVENE partners who COLLABORATE with us to design action plans for change. Where we can’t find the right partner, we INCUBATE initiatives to support our CHANGE objectives. Use of media – both traditional and social – is critical to the EDUCATION component of what we do since any change should be underpinned by public understanding and support.
We see our programmes as fundamentally interrelated as the tangible environmental challenges we face intersect with the biggest of our time: Our climate emergency. Consequently, we work towards “unsiloing” how we approach environmental challenges and promoting a low-carbon economy. There are inherently trade-offs involved in balancing sustainable growth and conservation – and in how to finance the change that needs to happen. We created ADM Capital Climate (“ADMCC”) to generate impact using both finance and philanthropy.
ADM Capital Foundation has been granted tax exempt status under Section 88 of the Hong Kong Government Inland Revenue Ordinance and 501(c) (3) charitable status in the United States.
