Charities
Round Table 10 supports a range of registered charities, but has a bias towards capital investment projects aimed at helping children in Hong Kong and China, where the charity has limited or no other sources of funding for the planned project.
Round Table makes up to 20% of its funds each year available for overseas charities. These have to meet the same stringent criteria that we apply to Hong Kong or China-based charities. Indeed, it is not uncommon for members of Round Table to visit the site of the proposed project (at their own expense) to allow us to form a view on the feasibility and likelihood of success of the proposed project.
Some of the charities Round Table has supported recently include:
