The Charities and Community Division supports the work of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. Over the past decade, our Charities Trust has donated an average of HK$4 billion a year to the community. In 2020/21, its total approved donations were HK$4.5 billion, benefiting 528 charity and community projects.
Working with the Government, NGOs and community partners, the Trust is committed to improving the quality of life of the people of Hong Kong. As a philanthropic organisation in its own right, the Trust also proactively identifies and initiates projects that anticipate future community and social needs.
While the Trust funds a wide range of projects, it is also placing special emphasis on four areas: Positive Ageing & Elderly Care; Children & Youth Development; Healthy Community; and Talent & Capacity Building.
Key functions include:
- Charities (Grant Making)
- Charities (Planning and Operations)
- Trust-Initiated-Projects Management
- Tai Kwun – Centre for Heritage and Arts
