Foundation for Shared Impact Limited
Foundation for Shared Impact (FSI) is a registered charity in Hong Kong built on the philosophy of “shared impact”, which believes that when different groups come together and collaborate by sharing knowledge, resources and time, we can achieve a greater social impact than by working separately.
Our sustainability goals for 2024:
– We Educate, Empower, and Unite: We help the people who help people. We are educators, founders, students, business leaders, and community members who believe in solving today’s biggest challenges by educating and empowering individuals and organizations.
– We Build Capacity: As a tech-savvy team who believes in using data and technology to enact change, we help our partner companies, social impact organizations, ethnically diverse entrepreneurs and small grassroot businesses streamline their operations via technological tools and automated solutions, so that they can redirect their resources to capacity building.
– We Drive Systems Change: Beyond offering programs in response to the community’s needs, we build a model that leaders can adopt to promote broader cross-sector collaboration, innovation, and positive social change.
