Philanthropy Promotion
ZeShan Foundation is keen to nurture a culture of philanthropy in Hong Kong and China to make giving more efficient and effective. Grants are awarded to programs that enhance the philanthropic capacity of wealthy individuals, families and family foundations, as well as efforts that facilitate philanthropic development in the region.
Recently we have supported a three-year initiative by The Hong Kong Council of Social Service, an umbrella group of NGOs in Hong Kong, which surveys attitudes to philanthropy in the city.
To promote charity legislation in China, the Foundation twice supported the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, to organize an international symposium on charity development in China. The Foundation has also supported philanthropic development in Hong Kong through sponsoring activities such as gatherings between charitable foundations.
