Winner List100% of all donations we receive go straight to the services – our administrative expenses do not come from the donations. They come from a subsidized grant from the Hong Kong Jockey Club and our investment returns. Our office is rented out to us by the HKJC with a nominal rent of HK$1 each year. This operation model makes us unique among charity organizations anywhere in the world.
