Philanthropy Forum PBC 2026 Marks Decade of Global Impact in Hong Kong

Convened by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and the Institute of Philanthropy, the fifth edition of the forum shifts its focus toward the intersection of sports values and systemic social change. Keynote speakers include former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and Hari Menon, President of Global Growth & Opportunity at the Gates Foundation. They lead a roster of 80 speakers tasked with addressing urgent challenges ranging from urban poverty and climate resilience to inclusive employment and the well-being of older adults.

The event serves as a hub for major industry disclosures, including the debut of the Charities Trust Impact Report and the Commission on Asian Philanthropy’s interim findings. Beyond policy discussions, the program incorporates practical "Impact Studios" and workshops designed to bridge the gap between theoretical debate and field implementation. The gathering draws participation from significant international entities, including the Tencent Charity Foundation, the Sanofi Foundation, and the Essl Foundation, reinforcing Hong Kong's role as a central node for regional philanthropic collaboration.
