Creating a
More Effective Philanthropic Culture
Creating a
More Effective Philanthropic
Culture
Our History & Goal.
GiveWise was first conceived of in 2023 when the founders realised many of the most effective charities in the world are not registered legal entities in Hong Kong. As a result, they have no operations or fundraising in Hong Kong and most Hong Kong people are not aware of them. Hong Kong people were missing out on some of the best opportunities for impact. After nearly two years of work, the team accomplished in 2025 what many told them would be difficult: establishing a recognized legal foundation for effective giving.
GiveWise is a donation platform designed to connect Hong Kong donors with top global charities, fully tax-efficiently. GiveWise turns conviction into action, empowering our community to maximize the impact of their donations. Together, we can build a more generous and more effective philanthropic community.
