40 years of continuing community stories

The Hongkong Bank Foundation

Since 1865, HSBC has been committed to supporting the community that has helped it flourish over the years.

We established The Hongkong Bank Foundation in 1981 to better coordinate its community programmes in Hong Kong. The foundation has supported over 10,000 projects with over HKD2.2 billion, helping to identify and provide support for community needs and key elements for sustainable growth of Hong Kong, including the renowned ecological habitats in the Mai Po Ramsar site, Hoi Ha Wan and Lai Chi Wo.

Special funding to celebrate 40 years of community support

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of The Hongkong Bank Foundation, HSBC is making a special donation of HKD140 million to aid 10 community projects.

Covering future skills development, easing hardship and improving quality of life, as well as helping to improve the environment and enhance climate resilience, these projects are expected to reach and benefit more than 720,000 people, or one in every 10 of the city's population.
