PBC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME 2024

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (“HKJCCT”) is pleased to announce the launch of its first PBC Fellowship Programme in conjunction with the Philanthropy for Better Cities Forum 2024 (“the Forum”) to be held in September in Hong Kong.

The PBC Fellowship Programme is designed to facilitate young social innovators and impact champions to participate in the Forum and connect with industry leaders from all over the world. This year’s Forum, themed “Delivering Impactful Philanthropy in the Real World”, aims to study how tangible and sustainable impact can be built under an evolving philanthropic landscape in Asia and beyond.

Similar to the past, this year’s Forum gathers a diverse group of stakeholders, including social entrepreneurs, thought leaders, policy makers, investors and newcomers in the field of philanthropy. With the launch of the PBC Fellowship Programme, we hope to provide a unique networking platform for young leaders to connect with their global counterparts, exchange ideas, share experience, and develop impactful projects.
