香港公益金
香港公益金的誕生,全因一個使命:
- 透過向社會人士呼籲,為所資助的社會福利機構籌募捐款,向有需要的人士提供援助;
- 擔任捐款者的信託人,負責謹慎地分配捐款予各會員機構,從而加強社會福利工作,擴闊服務範圍;
- 為願意資助香港多種社會福利工作的捐款者提供統一捐贈服務。
The Community Chest of Hong Kong
When we were born...
we were born with a mission:
- to obtain donations through community wide appeals on behalf of member social welfare agencies;
- to act as trustee of the donors and allocate funds raised prudently to our agencies to strengthen and maximize their services to the needy;
- to provide an integrated service for donors wishing to support a wide range of welfare services in Hong Kong.
Established on 8 November 1968, we are an independent, non-profit making organisation neither funded, nor operated by the Government.
We are The Community Chest of Hong Kong.
One goal - to work for the betterment of Hong Kong through the support by millions...
The Community Chest is governed by a Board. Under the Board, there are four main committees whose work is supported by over 300 volunteers serving in various sub-committees.
Together with 40 staff at the Chest office, they work hard to accomplish daunting fund-raising target year after year and allocate these funds entrusted by the public to 143 social welfare agencies. These agencies provide services to the elderly, the mentally and physically impaired, children, youth and families at risk, the ex-mentally ill, ex-offenders, the terminally ill, and many others.
Our administrative cost is subsidised by the generous annual grant from The Hong Kong Jockey Club and our prudent investment in various funds. Therefore, the Chest is very proud to be one of the few fund-raising bodies in the world who boast of 100% allocation of funds to our beneficiaries without any deduction for administrative expenses.
Every year, over 1,000,000 needy benefit from your generosity.

我們於一九六八年十一月八日成立, 是一間非政府、非牟利、財政資源獨立及管理自主的機構。
我們是香港公益金。
目標明確 攜手共建美好香港
公益金的工作由董事會統領。董事會之下,有超過三百名志願人士組成的四個委員會及多個籌劃委員會一起推動工作。
在公益金四十名員工的協助下,他們不斷為共同的理想而努力,透過各式各樣的籌款活動,呼籲市民為善最樂,踴躍捐輸。年復一年,公益金均將市民所捐贈的善款悉數撥給一百四十三間社會福利機構,為老人、傷殘人士、兒童、青少年、問題家庭、精神病康復者、釋囚、垂危病人等提供全面服務。
我們的行政費用來自香港賽馬會慷慨的贊助,以及於各項基金的穩健投資收益。正因如此,公益金方能成為現今世界上少數能夠將所有善款全數撥捐受惠者的籌款組織之一。
每年,超過一百萬有需要的人士因您的捐款而受惠。
取之香港,用之香港
每一年,公益金籌得的所有善款均全數用以改善本港社會福利服務,讓市民可以安家樂業,絕不扣除任何行政費用。
