On June 14, 2005, the Heungkong Group
established and funded the Heungkong Charitable Foundation (“the Foundation”).
China’s first non-public charitable foundation, it is numbered 001 by the
Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People’s Republic of China.Inpastyears
theHeungkong Group contributed more than RMB 1 billion to various public
welfare causes, such as education, poverty alleviation, and rescue and disaster
relief. As a private enterprise, it has fulfilled its solemn commitment of
“giving back to society through business excellence”.
Since its establishment,
the Heungkong Charitable Foundation has been committed to education,
poverty alleviation, and rescue and disaster relief. It has steadfastly
helped people in need and explored the way to sustainable development.
Over the years, the
Foundation has worked tirelessly in education, poverty alleviation,
and rescue and disaster relief. In 2007, we launched the “Five 1,000
Project”, namely, building 1,000 charity libraries, helping 1,000
impoverished families, sponsoring 1,000 orphans, subsidizing 1,000
under-privileged students and recruiting 1,000 volunteers. Over the past 10
years, we have planned and carried out 7 brand projects, carried out over 20
large-scale public welfare activities and participated in over 200 fundraising
activities.
For many years, the Foundation has
served over 2 million needy people. Its efforts include establishing
1500 rural school libraries, sending books to over 1 million students, providing
assistance to over 80,000 handicapped children and elderly people, granting
scholarships to nearly 500 outstanding university students, constructing houses
for over 300 single mothers and assisting over 100 deaf children. In the
past 10 years, the Foundation has grown tremendously. Its team now
comprises nearly 20,000 volunteers and over 100,000 volunteers have
participated in its public welfare causes. Its charitable causes has covered 18
cities and provinces in China and has extended abroad to support the Chinese
education in Myanmar.
At the end of 2010, Forbes (Chinese
Edition) released “China Top Charitable Foundations” for the second time, and
the Heungkong Charitable Foundation was listed as one of the top
three of the ten best non-public foundations. In 2011, it won Charity
China’s Outstanding Non-public Foundation Award. At the beginning of 2012, “Heungkong
Charity Library” was awarded the title “the First Group of Demonstration
Projects of Social Work Services” by the Civil Society Administration of the
Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People’s Republic of China for its
standardized project flow and professional execution capability, and it also
won “2015 Social Innovation Excellence Projects of Global Enterprises”.
Changes in behavior originate from
changes in the environment and ways of thinking. The operation of public
welfare in the new era also demands innovation.
In 2011, the Heungkong Charitable
Foundation launched the Fund for Female
Entrepreneurship, the Special Relief Fund, “Heungkong · Splendid Culture
Inheritance”, “Heungkong · Public Welfare Training of Chinese Media
Journalists”, “Public Welfare Spark Training (Phase II)” and so on. For many
years, it has been actively helping women, children and craftsmen become
independent and self-sustaining by helping them improve their living
environment.
Also worthy of note is Heungkong
Charitable Foundation’s support for stay-at-home children. From the 2007
project which helps orphans and cares for stay-at-home children, to building 50
child-friendly community projects within the Guangdong Province in 2014, we
consider it our responsibility and mission to let the children in mountainous
regions feel the same love and warmth as children from other areas.
As the first national non-public
charitable foundation in China, the Heungkong Charitable Foundation is
committed to playing a lead role in the transformation of public welfare
strategy and to be innovators in interactive and standardized public welfare
models. We insist in helping people in poverty-stricken areas carry out
community construction by means of “self-generation”, i.e. creating an
entrepreneurial environment conducive to employment and encouraging them to
improve their lives through their own efforts. In the future, we will continue
to explore innovative methods for the advancement of charitable causes and
public welfare models.
For 10 years, the Heungkong Charitable
Foundation has been dedicated to “devoting to charity and giving back to
society”, and adhering to the vision of “making charity a kind of fashion,
style and culture”, thereby inspiring benevolence and goodwill through donation
and kindness and contributing to a harmonious society.
