Whether you are a newly founded non-profit organisation with myriad plans to tackle social prejudice or a veteran equality advocate looking to scale up an established initiative, there will be times you need help oiling the wheels. The EOC’s Community Participation Funding Programme may just be that injection of financial support you are looking for – each project approved under the programme receives a maximum of HK$50,000, and applications for the year 2018/2019 are now being accepted until 14 September 2018.

Public education holds the key to overturning biased assumptions and putting the brakes on the discrimination they breed. The programme aims exactly at encouraging NGOs, schools and other community groups to innovate campaigns that promote concepts of anti-discrimination and equal opportunities. From talks for foreign domestic workers to sign language singing competitions and TV Announcements in the Public Interest (APIs) demystifying HIV and AIDS, past funded projects have made an impact each in their own way.
