These initiatives expand the Support Fund\u2019s service scope from acute crisis response to long-term community rehabilitation, psychosocial healing, and disaster risk reduction awareness. Grant agreements are undergoing final execution, with all 11 projects scheduled to officially launch within September 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Financial Allocation &amp; Governance Transparency<\/u><\/p>\n<p>The Support Fund officially ceased receiving donations on 13 February 2026, with total funds raised reaching HK$25,975,646.78. With the allocation of Batch 4 funding finalised, the cumulative commitment across the first four batches of projects stands at HK$21,195,788.00, representing 81.6% of total funds. The remaining balance of HK$4,779,858.78 will be reserved for subsequent deployment phases.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Governance Note: Standalone Designated Grant<\/u><\/p>\n<p>In addition to the HK$25,975,646.78 raised by the Support Fund, the Swire Trust, as a sole corporate donor, confirmed a dedicated grant of HK$10,000,000.00 to support specific community recovery projects in the Tai Po district. To ensure strict accounting independence and high transparency, this HK$10 million dedicated fund and its outcome reporting will be managed independently and reported directly to Swire Trust, and will not be commingled with this Support Fund report.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><u>Open Call for Proposals: Batch 4 Partner Projects Launch<\/u><\/p>\n<p>The Open Call for Proposals (19 March \u2013 17 April 2026) received a strong response from the sector, yielding 62 proposals from 61 eligible social service agencies and social enterprises.
