Launching the NGO Report Series: Transforming Philanthropy in Hong Kong
Why do significant philanthropic investments often fail to create lasting social impact? This is the critical question at the heart of Hong Kong’s social challenges.
The NGO Empowerment Initiative, under our Research Institute, is designed to tackle this issue. It provides a strategic framework to strengthen governance transparency, organizational capacity, and impact measurement across the sector.
As a core output of this initiative, we are proud to firstly launch a pivotal three-report series. These reports diagnose the systemic barriers in the current funding landscape and offer actionable strategies for funders, NGOs, and all stakeholders.
The Series Includes:
Report 1: “Why Philanthropic Funding in Hong Kong Cannot Buy Social Change”
Diagnoses the limitations of current grant-making and proposes six strategic shifts for funders.
Report 2: “The HK$14 Billion Philanthropy Dilemma”
Analyses the paradox of rising donations amid persistent need, urging a shift from funding projects to driving systemic change.
Report 3: “Measuring: Are the Sponsorships Well Spent?”
Examines the state of impact measurement, moving beyond vanity metrics to define meaningful evaluation.
Together, we believe these first three reports offer a clear diagnosis and a strategic roadmap for anyone committed to deeper, more sustainable social impact in Hong Kong, and beyond. We invite you to explore the full series and join the crucial conversation on reimagining philanthropy for the greater good.
