Endowment

Endowment gifts will provide the University with sustainable resources for exploring new possibilities and scaling greater heights in multiple realms.

Donations will be kept intact as principals and managed as endowment funds on a perpetual basis, according to the stipulated guidelines of the University. An annual income will be generated from endowment funds at a rational interest rate that is guaranteed by the University, which will be used in alignment with the donors’ specified intent.

Supporters are welcome to make non-designated donations, providing the University with the greatest flexibility in responding promptly to, for example, its strategic priorities or general development. On the other hand, supporters can designate the areas of support, for example, research or student development.

Education is crucial for personal and social development!

It has been a lifelong regret for me that I did not have the opportunity to receive an education during my youth. Therefore, my profound dedication lies in supporting the advancement of education, which has led me to establish an endowment fund at CityUHK to nurture talents. I wholeheartedly support the CityUHK Endowment Campaign and have made arrangements to bequeath part of my assets to the University to extend my enduring passion for nurturing the next generation. I am committed to sharing this campaign with my relatives and friends, and I look forward to you joining me in offering your support!
