Chen Yet-Sen Family Foundation


The Chen Yet-Sen Family Foundation is a Hong Kong-administered charitable institution established in 2003 by the Chen family, with a strategic focus on childhood literacy. It works closely with a variety of non-profit organizations to help them implement "innovative" and "cost effective" programmes.

Concept

The Chen Yet-Sen Family Foundation is predominantly a grant-making institution, which backs long-term projects. The Foundation also initiates its own projects and research, and works with non-profit organisations to improve their effectiveness.
Since its inception the foundation has worked on around 95 projects in high-need areas in China, Hong Kong and West Africa. At present over 50% of the foundation's funds are allocated to programmes in China. The foundation has been particularly active in Qidong County, Jiangsu Province, the ancestral home of the Chen family.
