Each year, The Community Chest of HK organizes fund-raising events to benefit over 160 social welfare member agencies that reach out to more than 2.5 million beneficiaries in Hong Kong in six major areas of services: children & youth, elderly, family & child welfare , medical & health, rehabilitation & aftercare, and community development.
The Chest's administrative expenses come from a subsidized grant from partner-in-charity, The Hong Kong Jockey Club, and return from prudent investment. This allows the Chest to allocate 100% of funds raised to charitable use; this operations model makes the Chest unique among its peers, and helps fulfil its mission to act as trustee of the donors.
This year, we supported The Chest ‘s Dress Casual Day on Oct 29 by raising HK$2,750 from our colleagues and together with a 100% match-up by the company, Epro donated a total of HK$5,500 to the charity. |
