Hong Kong is known to have a strong philanthropy history with leading donors, a financial hub, a gateway to Mainland China, and a deep talent pool in private wealth management. How can Hong Kong strengthen its attractiveness for private wealth owners, both individual and corporate, to engage in philanthropy?

 

The Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society (CAPS) will release a study sponsored by the Better Hong Kong Foundation on what a philanthropy hub is and what Hong Kong would need to do to become the pre-eminent philanthropy hub in Asia. Join us for a luncheon forum to hear a keynote address from Christopher Hui, HKSAR Secretary of Financial Services and the Treasury, a presentation of the study by CAPS Co-Founder and Chief Executive Ruth Shapiro, and a conversation with our distinguished panelists on the potential, the strengths, and the needs of Hong Kong as a philanthropy hub.

 

 

This program is hosted in partnership with the Centre for Asian Philanthropy and Society and the Better Hong Kong Foundation.
