The City with a Heart – Stories of Giving from Hong Kong and Hong Kong Universityby Bernadette Tsui


The monograph cites more than 100 cases to illustrate the practice and behaviour of giving in Hong Kong, analyse the social and cultural implications as well as compare the differences in concepts and philosophies between East and West.  It is an in-depth study of the various modes and models of philanthropy and fundraising against the backdrop of rapid social and technological developments.

The book captures the significance of philanthropy as a social force and source of social capital in civil society, defines the philanthropic culture and fundraising protocols, and celebrates the Hong Kong prototype as an exemplar for the Region.
