3 Chairman’s Report 主席報告 Enormous contributions from the Foundation Since its inception, the Foundation has shouldered the responsibility of promoting HKBU’s advancement, helping the University realise its vision by raising resources from a wide variety of sectors in society. The successes achieved by HKBU in the past year were indeed excellent gifts in celebration of the Foundation’s 15th anniversary. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my visionary predecessors, who came to the astute decision to establishing the Foundation in 2009. They were sufficiently insightful to envision that this fundraising platform would be capable of securing the resources to meet the University’s needs, gathering efforts from compassionate individuals as well as institutional donors, and ensuring that their donations leave the optimum legacy. Fundraising performance reaches new heights I am pleased to report that the Foundation has succeeded in achieving remarkable results in its fundraising endeavours. Between 2009 and 31 December 2024, HKBU has secured a sum of nearly HK$5,219 million, comprising HK$3,407 million in donations, HK$993 million in matching grants and HK$819 million in pledges. By the end of December 2024, the membership of the Foundation has grown by 632% from 131 at its inception to 959, while the total number of donors has increased to 19,279. Serving as the University’s trustworthy financial bedrock, the Foundation has helped to enhance campus facilities, supported novel research, and provided valuable international learning opportunities, thereby strengthening HKBU’s capabilities and global status. In particular, from July 2023 to December 2024, the University received a number of hefty donations that not only benefit our teaching and research but also promote social progress: • HKBU received a mega gift from the Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation for the establishment of the Wu Jieh Yee Institute of Translational Chinese Medicine Research. Using cutting-edge technology applications and digitalisation, the Institute drives the standardisation and internationalisation of Chinese medicine. An additional donation was also made to support the research development of the Shum Yiu Foon Shum Bik Chuen Memorial Centre for Cancer and Inflammation Research; • A HK$100-million donation from an anonymous benefactor was given to HKBU in support of its Chinese medicine clinical research and preparatory work as the contractor for the service deed to operate Hong Kong’s first Chinese Medicine Hospital; 基金成果纍纍 貢獻至鉅 基金成立以來，肩負推動大學發展的重任， 廣闢社會資源，襄助大學實現願景。浸大在 過去一年取得的種種成就，正是基金成立 15周年的最佳賀禮。在此，我衷心感謝基金 董事局的高瞻遠矚和真知灼見，於2009年 設立基金這一平台，旨在為大學籌集資源， 凝聚個人和機構的慈善力量，形成聚合 效應，讓捐款發揮最大的影響力。 籌款再創佳績 我很高興向大家匯報，基金再次錄得卓越 的籌募成績。由2009年成立至2024年12月 31日止，累積籌得的捐款近港幣52億 1,900萬元，當中包括港幣34億700萬元 捐款，港幣9億9,300萬元配對補助金， 以及港幣8億1,900萬元認捐。同期， 會員人數由成立時的131人遞增至959人， 增幅達632%；而捐款人總數亦增長至 19,279人。基金穩健的財政資源，實有助 優化及提升校園設施，推動創新研究，並 提供更多海外學習體驗機會，增強大學的 實力和國際地位。從2023年7月至2024年 12月底，大學喜獲多宗大額捐款，對教學 研究和促進社會進步都帶來莫大裨益，當中 包括： • 伍絜宜慈善基金慷慨捐贈，成立「伍絜宜 中醫藥轉化研究所」，旨在透過前沿科技 應用和數碼化，推動中醫藥的標準化和 國際化，另外，該基金亦捐資支持岑堯 岑碧泉紀念癌症炎症研究中心的研究 發展； • 一項達港幣億元的匿名捐贈，支持中醫 藥臨床研究，以及浸大獲委任承辦香港 首間中醫醫院服務契約的籌備工作；
