Let's get the most from Government's Matching Grant

Thanks to the enthusiastic support from many alumni, students, staff and friends in the community, the OUHK has already raised about $45 million to match the Government's Matching Grant on a 1:1 basis. We still stand a good chance to get more from the grant, as every $2 raised in addition can be matched with $1 by the government on a first-come-first-served basis, up to the highest total of $220 million. Please send us your gift today to help the OUHK grasp this precious opportunity!
