Charitable activities have always been an integral part of The Walt Disney Company's heritage. At the heart of these endeavors is the welfare of children. Hong Kong Disneyland Resort continued this tradition with the launch of the Disney Children's Fund in 2008.

Administered by Hong Kong Disneyland Resort with funding from The Walt Disney Company, the Disney Children's Fund was established to encourage new and creative ideas for children's welfare programs to address the emerging needs of children in the community.
