About
A foundation for the long term
Primasia Foundation was established in 2015 by the Primasia Group as a registered charitable organisation in Hong Kong, dedicated to the advancement of education, the sciences and the arts.
Mission
We exist to breed future leaders endowed with passion, compassion, integrity and creativity — across science, technology, the arts and culture. We believe that progress in any of these fields is a public good worth investing in for the long term.
Origins
The Foundation was constituted in 2015 with an endowment from the Primasia Group. The conviction behind the gift was that long-horizon, institution-scale support for education, scientific research and the arts produces more durable outcomes than year-on-year giving. We operate on that thesis — committing to a small number of partners for the long term, and doing so quietly.
