Proceeds will go towards organisations empowering vulnerable and disadvantaged communities in five markets. This includes the Malaysia-based, non-profit organisation Yayasan Chow Kit, which is a 24-hour crisis centre for at-risk children and teenagers in the Chow Kit area of Kuala Lumpur
The annual Tatler Gen.T List recognises some of the most purpose-driven young leaders across Asia—and this year, we have set a challenge for them: to pay it forward and raise money for meaningful causes in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan.
To do this, we launched our first charitable NFT collection, the Phoenixes of Tomorrow, which features 180 profile picture (PFP) NFTs designed by Singaporean artist and Gen.T honouree Dawn Ang.

The Phoenixes of Tomorrow collection was inspired by the trailblazing young leaders on the Gen.T List, who continuously rise to the occasion, overcome failures and reinvent themselves in pursuit of purpose and creating a better world.
This collection was created exclusively for the honourees on the 2023 list, and cannot be sold or transferred.
Each Phoenix of Tomorrow also comes with a unique Friend of Phoenix NFT, which can be purchased by an honouree’s friends, other like-minded individuals or any NFT fiend on OpenSea.
Proceeds from the Friends of Phoenixes collection will benefit these local charities and non-profit organisations in the five markets: Hong Kong Down Syndrome Association, The Codette Project in Singapore, Yayasan Chow Kit in Malaysia, Angat Buhay in the Philippines and Kids’ Bookhouse in Taiwan.
