A funding opportunity.

Excited to announce Resolve Foundation new campaign #RipplesofChange to enhance our Opportunity Fund and explore #participatorygrantmaking in Hong Kong. Please do support us in the month of May to reach out target of 120,000 HKD, which would fund four community grants. We’re preparing to launch a round of “Participatory Grantmaking”, where we will directly engage potential beneficiaries in the decision making process for project funding allocation. This innovative approach enables communities to identify solutions that best meet their needs, ultimately leading to more effective and impactful grantmaking. Such an inclusive approach to funding has already proven to be effective and impactful elsewhere in Asia, however it is still relatively new to Hong Kong. At Resolve we've always been open to new ways to break down barriers and promote inclusivity. We believe that now is the right time to pilot, learn, and share our findings as we look for better ways to engage, empower and generate impact for the marginalized and disadvantaged communities we support. This pilot is an early step on a journey in a more trust-based direction that has the potential to transform giving in Hong Kong. 

Dear friends, many of you have known us and our work, and what we stand for. We empower emerging leaders from under-represented and marginalised communities to be change makers and social catalysts. Our #RipplesofChange campaign enhances Resolve Foundation's Opportunity Fund and further strengthens the narrative of #participatorygrantmaking in Hong Kong. We remain with a target of $24k by this Friday and ask for your support in this final push! The Opportunity Fund was launched in 2020 as a continuation of Resolve’s support to our alumni in their pursuit of social justice. Since early-stage funds are not always available, we offer Resolve alumni a seed grant as a means of launching projects and turning their ideas for equality into action. Through giving them this start-up funding and support, our alumni are empowered to transform their innovative community aspirations into meaningful projects and initiatives that deliver tangible benefits and outcomes to marginalized and disadvantaged communities in Hong Kong. beneficiary outcomes. Since its launch, we have run six rounds of supported grant-making through the Opportunity Fund, disbursing over HK$715k to 25 community start-up projects (15 completed, 10 still ongoing). Already, these start-up projects have benefited an estimated 9,000 people across Hong Kong. Resolve Foundation #RipplesofChange #OpportunityFund #socialjustice #participatorygrantmaking
