    Building upon the momentum cultivated at #PBC2024, over 60 global foundation leaders gathered at the Institute of Philanthropy's (#IoP) flagship convening platform, Foundations Circle, at The Hong Kong Jockey Club Beas River Country Club for an interactive workshop on “Measuring the Unmeasurable: Strategies for Articulating Intangible and Indirect Outcomes”. Iqbal Dhaliwal and Jason Saul led the Masterclass session in the morning, sharing insightful industry expertise and personal experiences in measuring the unmeasurable. The discussion explored innovations in alternative data and measurement approaches, including artificial intelligence (#AI), geospatial mapping, and natural language processing, designed to articulate impact and drive meaningful change. Our FC community engaged in dynamic dialogues to build a shared understanding of how to address complex outcomes, enabling more targeted interventions and effective funding to drive sustainable change. We envision a brighter future where our collaborative efforts yield lasting impact and positive outcomes. #ImpactfulPhilanthropy #HKJC #HKJCCharitiesTrust #FoundationsCircle

    #Olympic gold-medallist Tom Daley, Oscar winners Dustin Lance Black and Ruby Yang, and 2023 LONGINES International Jockeys' Champion Vincent Ho took the stage alongside moderator Dr Trisha Leahy at #PBC2024's Closing Plenary. The session illustrated the transformative power of sports and the arts in fostering creativity and promoting community well-being. Drawing from personal experiences, the panel highlighted how young people can positively reshape their lives through artistic endeavours. Early access to arts and sports emerged as a key driver for nurturing creativity and personal growth, with a focus on developing fundamental skills such as commitment and resilience through sports engagement. The discussion underscored the need for a forward-looking approach to create equal opportunities for marginalised individuals and diverse communities, cultivating resilience, creativity, and long-term positive societal change. The Closing Plenary served as an insightful finale to this year's #PBC2024, fully embodying the central theme of 'Delivering Impactful Philanthropy in the Real World'. #ImpactfulPhilanthropy #IoP #HKJC #HKJCCharitiesTrust
