Philanthropy Beyond Boundaries: PBC 2026 Returns to Hong Kong
Discipline, focus, and resilience serve as the blueprint for the fifth Philanthropy for Better Cities forum, convening in Hong Kong from September 7 to 8. Hosted by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the event marks a decade of global collaboration under the banner of Leaping for Impact.
Institutional heavyweights, including the Gates Foundation and the Tencent Charity Foundation, anchor a program designed to bridge abstract strategy with on-the-ground implementation. Beyond the plenary sessions, the forum introduces practical frameworks through Impact Studios and specialized workshops. Significant data releases are expected during the event, most notably the Charities Trust Impact Report and the Commission on Asian Philanthropy’s interim findings. The proceedings open with a performance integrating dancers from the JC Dance Well Project, illustrating the forum’s commitment to inclusion and the transformative role of community-led initiatives.
