SUPPORT OUR WORK

There are three ways you can help support our work:

First, you can help by attending our various public lectures, and spreading the word of our work throughout the Hong Kong community.  The easiest way to do that is to subscribe to our newsletter, and then invite your friends to come with you for the various events.  You can subscribe here and ask your friends to subscribe as well.

Second, you can make a financial donation.  As part of the Hong Kong Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong, Faith and Global Engagement is a privately funded academic programme that relies on the financial support of individuals, granting agencies, and foundations to operate.  All of what you see on this website is possible through your donations.  All donations to HKU are tax deductible.  You will receive a receipt from HKU.

Third, is that you can collaborate directly with us in our work.  Faith and Global Engagement is designed as a flexible platform to allow others to work with us towards the same vision.  We would be interested in connecting with you to see how your expertise and interests might align with our aspirations described above.  Please feel free to contact either Prof. Daniel Chua, FGE’s Founding Director at dchua@hku.hk or Steve Gaultney, FGE’s Managing Director at steveg@hku.hk.
