VISION

We envision a Hong Kong where everyone has access to the resources they need to achieve their full potential.

MISSION

Our mission is to support charities that improve the lives of people in Hong Kong who are vulnerable or at risk through charitable giving.

OUR VALUES

Commitment - Commit to making a positive impact in the community of Hong Kong.

Collaboration - Collaborate with charities, partners and volunteers and strengthen the ties of friendship and fellowship with the local community.

Service - Serve the community through various programs and contribute through charitable giving.

CHARITIES AND GRANTS

We focus our philanthropic efforts on providing to children and youth, the disabled, the elderly, women and girls, social services and special education. The AWA works with American Chamber of Commerce Charitable Foundation, the American Club and other businesses to help them designate their fundraising to underserved charities.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Our scholarship and education grants are given to low-income students requiring financial assistance as well as to local schools that need help with supplies and books.

Are you looking for a meaningful way to give to the community?

Your donation is part of almost 7 decades of giving and making a difference to so many lives in Hong Kong.
