“Blessings are to be shared, and philanthropy invites meaningful participation.”

Building a better shared future has always been at the heart of the Chow Tai Fook Charity Foundation's mission to create positive social change. In collaboration with SONOVA and Social Ventures Hong Kong, “Community Philanthropy” was launched, taking root in Sham Shui Po to create an inclusive philanthropic network.

Embodying the spirit of “Community Philanthropy”, SONOVA initiated "Community Philan-story" to weave together the threads of impactful narratives and strengthen the fabric of the community — ensuring that the stories are not only seen and heard but also felt deeply by the community.

Through a tapestry of storytelling mediums - including text, graphics, video, social media and webcasts - “Community Philan-story” breathes life into touching narratives of social impact. By harnessing creativity and empathy, the youth-focused music programme “五條線織出善” empowers young voices in creating impact in the community. SONOVA also penetrates stories of CTFCF into events like Come Phil Festival, fostering future collaboration between CTFCF and potential partners while leaving a lasting impression and legacy that the community can continue to build upon.

Documenting the Spirit of Philanthropy

"The Webcast Series - 織Talk"

The pioneering webcast series invites audiences on a journey through diverse community spaces, featuring candid conversations with guests, delving into a tapestry of relevant societal themes in each episode. Through "brainstorming" (Jam橋), the series aims to foster reflection and bring inspiration.
