WHAT
WE DO.
OVERVIEW.
We aim to provide charitable grants that:
Underprivileged Youth: Support the holistic development of low-income youth through sports, academic and development programs that increase access to higher learning and provide lifelong skills such as leadership, perseverance and teamwork.
Disadvantaged Communities: Enhance the livelihood of low-income or marginalized communities through initiatives that provide food, shelter, basic necessities, access to social inclusion and other enrichments.
Environmental Sustainability: Protect Hong Kong’s environmental ecosystem through charitable grants and programs that improve air, land and sea health. As well as promote awareness and solutions for these environmental issues.
GRANT GIVING
& EDUCATION.
OUR GRANTS+ MODEL
The American Club Foundation works on an innovative “Grants+” model that does much more than just charitable donations. We work with beneficiary organizations to identify areas of need, design appropriate grant proposals and set expectations for success. We also give feedback at every stage of the process. It’s the best way we’ve found to create a deep connection between donors and beneficiaries and to have a direct, measurable and lasting impact.
To apply for an ACF grant or to get involved, please reach out to us at grant@acfhk.org.
EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES
The ACF also hosts networking sessions and speaker programs throughout the year to connect our community with various Hong Kong charities to better understand the work they do and the issues facing the communities they serve.

VOLUNTEERING.
The ACF organizes volunteer events in partnership with several local charities and organizations. Our goal is to support their work and to educate our community about the challenges facing many groups in Hong Kong. Visit our Get Involved page for our latest volunteer opportunities and events.
FUNDRAISING.
The ACF holds several fundraising events throughout the year to fund our Grants+ program. Our grants support local charities aiding underprivileged youth, disadvantaged communities and environmental sustainability. Major events include:
ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
A standout moment to kick off 2026 was ACF’s Golf Day at the beautiful and exclusive Shek O Golf Course. It was a wonderful day of friendly competition, laughter, and shared purpose, followed by a relaxed evening of dinner and drinks.
Many thanks to our corporate sponsor, New Era, for their continued support. Over HKD$300,000 was raised to support our Grants+ Charity Partners!
Every dollar raised, benefits our charity partners: Pathfinders, Zubin Foundation, Kely Support Group , and LumiVoce. If you’d like to join us as a sponsor or volunteer for future events, please reach out to us at info@acfhk.org.
We look forward to seeing you all again in 2027!

ANNUAL DINNER
We held our 4th ACF Annual Charity Gala, “Weaving Hong Kong Together,” on March 14, 2026. Over 180 guests gathered to celebrate the work of the ACF and learn about three of our 2025/27 Grants+ charity partners: EmpowerU, Love21 Foundation, and Redress.
We are deeply grateful to our Lead Sponsors - White & Co, Luxe Nomad, Lightfoot Travel, and Shaw & Smith - as well as our generous gifts-in-kind sponsors, whose auction items, prizes, and contributions made the evening possible. A special thank you also goes to our event partner - The American Club, and our dedicated Gala Committee, whose time and effort were instrumental in bringing the event to life.
We are thrilled to share that we raised a net total of HK$1.5 million, which will go directly toward our Grants+ program - creating meaningful impact for underprivileged communities, supporting youth development, and advancing environmental sustainability in Hong Kong.
