  • Community organisations often have both short-term and long-term needs. Short-term needs may be satisfied with cash grants long-term needs often require more than that. The Macquarie Group Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Macquarie Group, addresses both.

    Since its inception in 1985, the Macquarie Group Foundation together with Macquarie staff have given more than $HK800 million dollars to community organisations around the world. These funds are used in diverse ways: from helping not-for-profit organisations develop the business skills they need to expand their operations, to supporting charities which provide educational assistance to young people.

    We are proud to highlight the hundreds of Macquarie staff who donate hours of support for not-for-profit organisations, acting as volunteers, advisers and members of boards and management committees in every country in which the Macquarie Group operates.

    One such organisation in Hong Kong is Po Leung Kuk.

    Through staff giving, supported by the Macquarie Group Foundation, Macquaries staff are committed to supporting Po Leung Kuk and the Foreign Correspondent Club Charity Fund scholarship program.

    The Macquarie Group Foundation.

    Is it better to give hungry people fish to eat, or teach them how to fish? Yes.

    We will not rest

    Dreams can come true.

    Until you see how our global footprinthas left a positive imprint wherever we go.

    And understand that being a pillar of societymeans building a foundation for the long-term.

    That it is more than just about having an obligation to the community, it is a commitment.

    Until we all recognize what it really means to contribute to our society.

    Until then

    Until she can write her own future.

    Cubic Sphere Collective

    Born as a proposal to integrate the duality that makes

    us whole. The feminine and masculine, white and

    black that, in turn, oppose and confront the color that

    represents each other at different levels, and combines

    what appears to be defiantly distinct.

    A man and a woman, the cube and the sphere

    antagonists share an indeterminate space, where at

    times, the implicit becomes explicit.

    Colectivo Cubicsphere, brings forth unique ideas. It's

    the common space for two artists experimenting with

    substance, material and space to find a delicate

    balance in everyday life.
