ABOUT THE
AWA FOUNDATION
We envision a Hong Kong where everyone has access to the resources they need to achieve their full potential and support charities that improve the lives of people in Hong Kong who are vulnerable or at risk
MISSION & HISTORY.
Rooted in work that began nearly 70 years ago, the AWA Foundation (AWAF) responds to the needs of vulnerable people in Hong Kong by providing funds to local charities and non-profit organizations that offer effective and efficient solutions to existing problems, making a positive impact on the lives of those most in need. AWAF together with its sister organization, the AWA, also provides many volunteering opportunities for members to contribute to the charities we support.

WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE.
WE ARE A CHARITY INCUBATOR
We take calculated risks on budding NGOs. A grant from the AWA Foundation serves as a seal of approval that helps young organizations attract additional funding.
WE SUPPORT INNOVATIVE IDEAS
We support unconventional projects that push boundaries to enhance service delivery. Like a sailboat for the disabled or a robotic hand to help elderly people gain independence.
WE FUND ESSENTIAL (OFTEN OVERLOOKED) ITEMS
By supplying charities with mosquito netting, fans and air conditioners we alleviate financial strain on a charity's other services, keep people healthy, and prevent the overburdening of the public healthcare system.
