Asia-Pacific Federation on Giftedness (APFG) was founded in 1990 in Manila, Philippines as the Asia-Pacific Federation (APF) and became affiliated to World Council for Gifted and Talented Children (WCGTC) in 1994. In 2010, APF changed its name to APFG and has become an independent organization. The purpose of APFG is to focus attention on gifted and talented children in the Asia-Pacific region, and their valuable potential contribution for the benefit of humankind.
