In response to the unfortunate fire at Tai Po Wang Fuk Court on November 26, 2025, the HKCSS established the ‘Caring Company Scheme: Support Fund for Tai Po Wang Fuk Court’ the day after the incident. This fund collects donations from businesses and foundations through the Caring Company Scheme’s online fundraising platform. As of the end of February 2026, this platform has raised approximately HKD 24 million. The online fundraising platform has already stopped accepting donations. This letter aims to report to agency members on the progress of the Fund's usage and invite those interested in applying for the Fund to submit proposals. To ensure the effective use of donations, the Council established an internal review committee in December of last year to oversee the approval of proposals submitted by organizations and monitor the fund's allocation. In the first phase (the three months following the incident), our support focused on providing emergency assistance to disaster victims. Through our network, we collected nine proposals and allocated HKD 4,324,560 to nine organizations to support over 900 affected households. For further updates on the support fund's progress, please refer to the Caring Company Scheme’s website. As the emergency relief phase concludes, the Fund ...
