About Us

    In May 2022, St. James' Settlement was funded by SIE Fund to launch a one-stop digital search and application system to maximise the impact of poverty alleviation in a new charity ecosystem. We aim that this new charity operating model can connect different stakeholders including beneficiaries, NGOs and funders. Beneficiaries can enjoy convenience, dignity and diversity of choices in a centralised digital platform for searching and applying for subsidy programmes and receiving subsidies.
