Our ‘Most Promising Young Lady’ follows her mother’s philanthropic footsteps
Graduate of the University of Cambridge and daughter of David Cheung and Michelle Ong-Cheung, Amanda Cheung knows a thing or two about philanthropy, thanks to her mother’s Hong Kong-based charitable organisation, First Initiative Foundation (FIF).
With an aim to “uplift the Hong Kong community at home and abroad”, the Foundation has fundraised for its outreach programmes in arts, culture and heritage since 2011.
Supporting FIF from a young age, Amanda has taken up the role of managing director to futher the Foundation's endeavour to empower local communities and shed light on local talents.
In our ‘The Next Step’ series—where we pose six questions to Hong Kong-based women about their philanthropic work—Amanda spoke to us about where her charitable ambitions started, the importance of giving back and her current and future projects.
