Charity Finder

Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society (HKDCS) was established in December 2003 and it is the only society dedicated to the conservation of whales, dolphins and porpoises of Hong Kong. Effective from 14 July 2005, HKDCS has been recognized as a charitable organization, with Inland Revenue file number 91/7756. In recent years, Chinese white dolphin has become one of the most celebrated wildlife adored by the Hong Kong public, and has also been an important member of our fragile marine ecosystem. However, the general public still knows only a little of these mysterious creatures, and local cetaceans have not received the full protection from human yet. In order to enhance the knowledge of general public on cetaceans in Hong Kong and around the world, and to effectively protect them in a long run, HKDCS aims to: 1) To arouse public awareness on: - biology and conservation of Chinese white dolphins and finless porpoises in Hong Kong, and cetaceans in other parts of the world; - preservation of dolphins and their habitats in Hong Kong; - impacts posed by dolphin-watching activities to dolphin and the importance of raising standard of dolphin-watching industry in Hong Kong; - global issues of whales and dolphins such as captivity, whaling, fishery bycatch and marine pollution 2) To conduct scientific research on wild dolphins in Hong Kong and nearby regions like China and Taiwan 3) To educate the school children on the importance of dolphin conservation 4) To offer opportunity for research interns and volunteers to participate in the conservation of local cetaceans 5) To provide a forum for dolphin-lovers to gather, interact and share dolphin-watching and conservation experience

Hong Kong Arts Festival Society Limited

Arts and Culture and HumanitiesEducation

HKAF, launched in 1973, is a major international arts festival committed to enriching the cultural life of the city by presenting leading local and international artists in all genres of the performing arts as well as a diverse range of “PLUS” and educational events in February and March each year. HKAF is a non-profit organisation. The total budget for FY2021/22 (including the 50th Hong Kong Arts Festival and 2022 "No Limits") is approximately HK$124 million. Current Government annual funding accounts for around 21% of the Festival's total income. Around 16% of the Festival's income needs to come from the box office, and around 45% from sponsorship and donations made by corporations, individuals and charitable foundations. The remaining 18% is expected to come from other revenue sources including the Government's matching scheme, which matches income generated through private sector sponsorship and donations. HKAF actively collaborates with Hong Kong’s own creative talent and showcases emerging local artists. Over the years, HKAF has commissioned and produced over 250 local productions across genres including Cantonese opera, theatre, chamber opera, music and contemporary dance, many with successful subsequent runs in Hong Kong and overseas. Recent HKAF productions include Gangsters of Hong Kong, Always by Your Side, Pavilion of a Hundred Flowers, A Floating Family – A Trilogy, Hong Kong Odyssey, Danz Up, Datong – The Chinese Utopia, The Amahs and Murder in San Jose, to name a few. HKAF frequently partners with renowned international artists and institutions to produce exceptional works, such as Der Fensterputzer (The Window Washer) co-produced by HKAF, Goethe-Institut Hong Kong and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, Richard III and The Tempest produced by The Old Vic, BAM and Neal Street under “The Bridge Project” with HKAF as a co-commissioning institution, Green Snake co-commissioned with Shanghai International Arts Festival, and Dream of the Red Chamber co-produced with San Francisco Opera. HKAF invests heavily in arts education for young people. Over the past 30 years, our “Young Friends” scheme has reached over 800,000 local secondary and tertiary school students. A variety of arts education projects serving primary, secondary, and tertiary school students have been launched in recent years, featuring activities such as student showcases, pre-performance talks, open rehearsals, opportunities to attend Festival performances, as well as in-school workshops and lecture demonstrations led by international and local artists. Donations to the “Student Ticket Scheme” also make available approximately 10,000 half-price student tickets each year. HKAF organises a diverse range of “Festival PLUS” activities in community locations each year to enhance engagement between artists and audiences. These include films, lecture demonstrations, masterclasses, workshops, symposia, backstage visits, exhibitions, meet-the-artist sessions, and guided cultural tours. HKAF actively promotes inclusiveness and understanding via the arts to every corner of the community. The “No Limits” project, co-presented with the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, was launched in 2019. Through a series of performances and diverse arts experiences for students and the community, “No Limits” strives to create an inclusive space for people with different abilities to share the joy of the arts together.

旺角是香港最繁盛的地區，行人如鯽，車水馬龍，不分晝夜。然而就在此間，就在萬頭湧動的高處，一幢道堂踞於其上，猶如一棵參天的老松，以其漫綠濃葉，庇蔭著不絕如縷的芸芸眾生 — 這就是松蔭園佛道社。 松蔭園始創於一九五五年夏天。時始創人葉培鈞道長蒙濟佛鸞示，設壇以普救群黎。遂與皈依弟子二十一人，以『贈醫施藥、惠助群倫、佛道教義、普濟眾生』為宗旨，合力於九龍福華街五號二樓創壇。道壇初名「松蔭園」繼改稱「松蔭園佛教社」。壇內恭奉觀世音菩薩、呂祖仙師、濟公活佛、華佗仙師及張三峯祖師，因佛道同參，後再更名為「松蔭園佛道社」，遷壇於亞皆老街六十九至七十一號六樓。 松蔭園創壇後，以開展善業作為首要任務，如義派棉衣，捐款賑災等，皆踴躍參與，不甘後人。另外，還曾為貧者施棺，包括功德法事，一概施贈。而在醫療方面，道壇很早便實行贈醫施藥，又監製成藥如呂仙丹等免費派發。另有氣功師駐壇為患者治療。每周所舉行之鸞事活動，亦歡迎善信問方取藥。由於道壇廣結善緣，因而道務迅速擴展。一九六四年道壇斥資購下現址彌敦道五七八至五八〇號其中單位遷入，然後又陸續購置相鄰單位，至今道壇已發展成為佔現址大廈三層，面積寛敝，殿宇輝煌的莊嚴道場。 一九七〇年，道壇依照不牟利慈善機構法例申請註冊為慈善社團，從此道壇進入新的發展時期。為擴大服務範圍，於黃大仙鳳凰新村鳳德道開設分社濟廬佛社，並在分社二樓開設濟法診所，延聘西醫，贈診施藥，深受當地居民歡迎。經過多年的發展，目前道壇有弟子眾多。除主要仙佛誕期均有活動外，慶燈勝會，誕期法會及九皇誕拜斗等為重要慶典。道壇乃自設訓練班，培訓弟子成經生，以為各種法會、法事活動醮制科儀之需。
