ReThink NGOs
ReThink NGOs Program
The ReThink NGOs Program is ReThink Foundation’s prime initiative. Every year, The ReThink Foundation launches applications for its programme, to foster collaboration between Hong Kong charities for greater social impact. Each project application is developed by two or more charities (local Chapter 88 organisations) working together — leveraging each other’s strengths, expertise, and resources. Each project runs for an 8-month cycle and is based on funding of HKD 100,000 upwards. The ReThink Foundation also provides a capacity building and engagement programme for the organisations involved.
Funding Timeline
The ReThink Foundation 2025 Funding Timeline will be announced in due course.
NGO Capacity Building
The ReThink Foundation is committed to further supporting NGOs through delivering a capacity building and engagement programme. This is to ensure that we are empowering NGOs through training, consulting, and providing them with the tools to develop and grow sustainably.
We are excited to announce that for the 2024 Cohort, our three successful lead NGOs will have the opportunity to join The D.H Chen Foundation‘s co-learning, co-creating and co-developing Fellowship Programme, Project Fire. Project Fire is a Fellowship Program for small-sized, high-impact NGOs interested in seeking opportunities for their staff to learn from their peers within the sector, foster genuine relationships between each other, seek possibilities to foster the collaborative spirit, and contribute to the healthy development of the nonprofit sector as one community.
Information Session
The ReThink Foundation will host an online information session on Wednesday 15th January 2025 at 10am with HandsOn Hong Kong, a close partner who shares the Foundation’s vision to support and empower the non-profit sector to thrive. The session is an opportunity to learn more about the Foundation, how to co-apply for this funding opportunity and other impact project examples that embrace collaboration.
