Do you have any innovative ideas that address the problems of poverty and social exclusion in Hong Kong? Are you looking for funding and other kinds of support to commercialise, start, grow or scale your social project?

An intermediary of the Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Fund (SIE Fund), Impact Incubator of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service cordially invites all current and potential social innovators and social entrepreneurs to join our next Impact Incubator briefing session. At the session, our team will briefly introduce our key programme features, including funding objectives, eligibility, application and vetting procedures and answer any questions you may have on applying for SIE Fund grant funding through the Impact Incubator. Representatives from Advance Care Planning Documents Education Campaign, a SIE Fund approved project, will also share their story of innovation and experience of their funding application.

In light of the overwhelming response to the Late Prototype stage in our previous round, Impact Incubator will continue to accept Late prototype applications this round. Additionally, we will continue to support projects at different stages, including Scale-up, Growing, and Start-up. We hope to support innovative projects in their continuous progress and elevate them to a larger scale, creating a broader and more far-reaching social impact! SIE Fund was established by the Commission on Poverty in 2012 to stimulate cross-sector collaboration, sharing learning and experience, guiding resources to groom and coach entrepreneurs, incubating and implementing new ideas, with the expectation that some of these will lead to new, sustainable businesses that help tackle poverty and social exclusion in the community.
