BBS
Business For Better SocietyIntroduction
Welcome to Business for Better Society (BBS), a Hong Kong registered charity committed to making a positive impact in our global community.
At BBS, transparency and accountability are at the core of our values. Each year, we undergo an independent audit, the results of which are diligently filed with the Hong Kong authorities before the November 11 deadline. Our commitment to upholding the standards of a charity in Hong Kong is further demonstrated through regular reviews of our work and operations. Our most recent review in May 2023 reaffirmed our dedication to our mission, as we were found to be in good standing with the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Division.

How We Work
We leverage our network of corporate relationships to match available sponsorship resources with the most suitable, high potential, credible and vetted nonprofits. In addition to identifying and providing funding to nonprofit organisations, we provide tailor-made capacity-building support, mentorship and access to best practices as well as impact assessment and reporting. We believe in creating connections among our grantees by establishing a network of innovative and impactful organisations and individual change-makers that will be able to support each other and share experiences, even after BBS direct support period comes to an end.
When it comes to identifying purpose driven, high potential, nonprofit organisations who would benefit from additional financial and/or technical support., this identification process can be BBS driven or via introductions from our partners. Once a potential nonprofit has been identified, we work with each organisation in the following manner:
Assess
Assessment phase to determine whether a nonprofit organisation qualifies for support and to determine their needs.
Accompany
Accompanying phase to bring like-minded donors and nonprofits together on impactful projects, entailing any combination of funding, capacity building, resourcing, strategic guidance and/or technical support.
