Liu Shan, Director, China Care Home & Former Trainer, Half the Sky

From the ChairmanThirty schools built. Eight thousand high school and university scholarships provided. Internet connectivity for thirty-nine thousand children. Half a million lives touched.

These are just some of the Chairman’s Trust’s remarkable achievements since its inception in 2007. To date, we have pledged over US$24.8m to more than 120 non-profit organisations across Asia and beyond. We look to partner with beneficiaries over the long term and to provide strategic counsel in addition to tangible funding. To that end, I am very proud of the significant number of CLSA staff who passionately donate their time to ensure the long-term sustainability of the organisations we fund.

The Chairman’s Trust is an important extension of a strong culture of philanthropy and citizenship that has developed at CLSA over its 29-year history. We are proud of CLSA’s commitment to touching lives of those most in need, and invite you to learn more about our work through this document.

Jonathan Slone, ChairmanCLSA Chairman’s Trust

What we doThe CLSA Chairman’s Trust provides financial and human capital to support communities and groups across Asia and beyond, who have not been so fortunate to benefit from the region’s remarkable growth.

The aim of the Trust is to directly impact poverty alleviation and enhance the lives of individuals, families and communities through the improvement of health, education, economic and/or environmental conditions.

The focus is on supporting small to medium size non-profit organisations where funding has an immediate and evident impact on the recipients.

The Trust is run by a board of Trustees and receives financial and administrative support from CLSA, ensuring 100% of funding received can be used to support Trust projects.
