Link Together Initiatives, Link’s flagship charity and community engagement programme, opens for application from today (Monday) to 9 May (Tuesday). The programme aims to support charitable groups and non-government organisations (NGOs) to deliver creative and impactful projects in the focus areas of youth empowerment, inclusion and active ageing, and resource management to address the evolving needs in the community.

To maximise positive impact to the community, projects which involve collaboration of different NGOs will be given priority on top of the projects’ own merits in this year’s assessment process. In the past year, Link had organised a series of workshops, titled CharityLINK, and connected 35 NGOs from different sectors to share experience and discuss collaboration opportunities.

Since the establishment in 2013, Link each year contributes an amount of up to 0.25% of its net property income from the previous financial year to Link Together Initiatives. Over the past nine years, the programme has committed $123 million to support more than 170 community service projects, benefitting more than 14 million people across all 18 districts of Hong Kong.

A pre-application online briefing was held on 15 March and attended by close to 160 NGOs. Organisations interested in applying for the 2023/24 funding cycle can submit their applications online through Link’s website. For details about the application process, please visit Link Together Initiatives.
