Welcome to The Foreign Correspondents’ Club Charity Fund

JPMorgan has been a proud partner with the Foreign Correspondents’ Club since 2005 in sponsoring the Language Training Program at Po Leung Kuk. This program provides training to more than 300 children each year so that they may achieve trilingual capabilities in English, Cantonese and Putonghua. It has been highly successful in showing how linguistics training can boost communication skills and provide better career prospects of all children, especially those socially and economically disadvantaged in Po Leung Kuk. Scholarships for assistance with tertiary education are also provided.

In addition to direct financial support, JPMorgan has also been active in encouraging employees to provide their personal time and talents for voluntary work. This year, our employees have taken part in many projects with underprivileged children. In March we sponsored an interactive language workshop, “Page to Stage”, for more than 500 students (including those from Po Leung Kuk) with a Shakespearean production company from the UK.

JPMorgan’s involvement with Po Leung Kuk highlights the firm’s commitment to building vibrant and successful communities. Across Asia, JPMorgan is contributing to projects that will bring long term benefits to the people of countries where the firm has been operating. Support for primary and secondary education is a principal focus, and we are actively expanding our involvement in these areas.

We look forward to a long relationship with the FCC as we build on our achievements at the Language Training Program at Po Leung Kuk.
