Support Lingnan

Over the years, the Lingnan Foundation has provided significant support towards program development, enhancement, and professional development of faculty and staff at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU) and Lingnan University, Hong Kong (LUHK) through collaborations with U.S. institutions of higher education.  Such support has had profound impact on the participating institutions and the personal and professional lives of the individuals involved.

Lingnan has also had a history of fostering great leaders whose dedication over many generations to the Lingnan Universities and the Lingnan Foundation has led to their institutional excellence and reputation.  Two endowment funds have been established to honor those leaders:  the Szutu Leadership Endowment or the Frederic Chewming Chang Endowment.  We invite you to donate to these endowments, or to the general Lingnan Fund.

Here's how to donate.

Leaders are nurtured through a process of mindful selection, training, mentoring, and experiential learning.
