We are proud to share that SIP and WYNG Foundation have jointly committed HKD 2 million to support youth well-being and community recovery in Tai Po through the launch of the "Tai Po Unity & Well-being Project", in partnership with Baptist Charis Social Service.

We are deeply grateful to Central Cove Group, the family office of Jean Salata, whose generous funding support through SIP made this initiative possible — for coming together to support families and youth during this important recovery journey.

The initiative responds to the ongoing recovery needs following the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire, with a focus on supporting young people and families through emotional support, mental health programs, community resilience activities, and dedicated case management.

This project reflects a shared belief that recovery is not only about rebuilding physical spaces, but also restoring stability, connection, and hope within the community.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new impact video featuring The Nesbitt Centre, showcasing how a supportive and inclusive employment environment can empower SEN individuals to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the community. The video highlights how the organization trains and equips SEN employees with practical, employable skills, giving them the confidence and opportunity to belong. Through interviews with SEN employees and core members of The Nesbitt Centre, the video shares why uplifting those who are so often overlooked is not just an act of inclusion, but a vital investment in our community.

Recently, SIP Executive Director Lillian Li was invited to speak at the Oxfam Grant for Good – Beyond Measure: Annual Outstanding Project Award Ceremony cum Showcase Day 2026. As a panelist, Lillian joined fellow speakers to explore how social innovators can build financial resilience, navigate the spectrum of capital, and sustain their missions beyond initial funding. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful occasion, surrounded by dedicated organisations and changemakers driving positive transformation across Hong Kong.

SIP Executive Director Lillian Li recently authored a feature article for Metro Finance Plus (新城理財+), published under the CFA Control Room Alumni Network (CFA聯盟) series by CFA Society Hong Kong. 

In the article, Lillian draws on her professional experience to examine what it truly takes for impact investing projects to go the distance , arguing that passion alone is not enough, and that the three pillars of passion, governance, and financial expertise must work in balance. She candidly explores the tensions between a founder's entrepreneurial spirit and the demands of sound institutional governance, and makes a compelling case for building proper structures, such as shareholders' agreements, from the very start. We hope this piece sparks meaningful reflection for both investors and social entrepreneurs on the journey toward sustainable impact.

SIP Executive Director Lillian Li recently attended the “The ‘15–5’ Hong Kong Five-Year Plan Engagement Session”, joining cross-sector leaders to exchange views on Hong Kong’s future social development. Lillian shared insights on how dormant accounts and unclaimed assets in other regions have been mobilized as catalytic capital to drive impact investing and social innovation, as well as facilitated other broader discussions on philanthropy and impact investment in the city.

SIP is eager to stay connected to government policy development in this sector and look forward to contributing further to conversations that can help build a more sustainable and inclusive future for Hong Kong.

Thank you to The Hong Kong Council of Social Service for the invitation and for creating an open platform for meaningful exchange and collaboration.

Recently, we were invited by SME Sustainability Society to host a booth display at its Joint Ceremony event, where we had the opportunity to showcase the work of HK Aquaculture and connect with 200+ guests from various industries.

We believe these opportunities are valuable in helping our SPOs connect with different sectors, better understand market needs and trends, and further introduce SIP’s work in supporting local SPOs on their growth journey.

If you have similar opportunities for collaboration or showcasing social impact initiatives, we would be happy to connect and help ripple the impact together.

Contented Living Co-Founder Venny Chan was recently featured on am730’s interview program "瀟灑人生." Offering a deep dive into the ecosystem and entry barriers of Hong Kong's student housing market, Venny discussed long-term project viability amid a 40% non-local student quota and a 70,000-bed shortfall. The conversation highlighted the need to balance market enthusiasm with strict regulatory compliance, candidly addressing industry pitfalls like illegal structural alterations, land-use violations, and unlicensed operations. We hope this piece sparks meaningful reflection for investors and social entrepreneurs dedicated to sustainable youth housing.

Clean Air Network (CAN) has reached an important milestone in its Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Project, engaging over 200 volunteers to monitor air quality across libraries, offices, restaurants, gyms, schools, and clinics. With data collected from more than 200 locations - partly for studies and partly for awareness. 

On the public awareness side, the newly launched IAQ Map empowers the public to better understand the air they breathe every day. Because when people can see the data, they begin to ask: Is my workspace safe? Could poor air quality be affecting my health? This shift from awareness to action is at the heart of CAN’s mission. 

Together, through your donations and engagement, we can achieve our goal of "Clean Air for All."
