5 Chairman’s Report 主席報告 Supporting HKBU via diverse means The Foundation has adopted over the past year the strategy of “bringing in, going out”. On the one hand, we invited community leaders who enthuse about the value of education to visit HKBU; on the other hand, we arranged visits for Foundation members to the UIC campus in Zhuhai to explore the depth of the University’s “One University, Two Campuses” strategy. We are genuinely grateful that all the kind benefactions by our donors go beyond mere monetary ones. In recent years, HKBU has received cutting-edge equipment and professional services from a variety of enterprises which have enabled its faculty to stay at the forefront of scientific research. In addition, many organisations have partnered with HKBU to launch social projects that cover areas not taken care of by our existing welfare system. In the upcoming year, the impact of our donors’ support will become more pronounced, as the University’s Jockey Club Campus of Creativity, sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, will open by phases. This novel, interactive and quality environment will assuredly help our faculty members create new fields of knowledge and assist our students in acquiring further advanced learning. Future development relies on continued support According to the HKSAR Government’s statistics, the total approved charitable donations allowed under profits and salaries tax amount to more than HK$14 billion every year, confirming that kind-hearted philanthropists are abundant in the city. Looking ahead, HKBU is going to kick off a number of large-scale programmes and construction projects. These range from conducting Chinese medicine clinical research, establishing a medical school, launching art-tech initiatives, fostering transdisciplinary education, and undertaking sports science research, to bolstering campus facilities. All these efforts demand immense financial support. By working closely together, the Foundation’s Board of Governors together with other committees will strive to build a comprehensive, efficient fundraising network that can secure stable resources for HKBU, ensuring that the University will play its full part in line with the 14th Five-Year Plan and thereby help create a brighter future.
