Administrative history
Formerly known as The Hong Kong Institute of Education Foundation ("The HKIEd Foundation"), The Education University of Hong Kong Foundation ("The EdUHK Foundation") was established on 10 December 2014 as a high-level organisation unit under the Council of the University, upon the disbandment of the Donation Committee and the Hong Kong Institute of Education Development Fund. It solicits, procures, and accepts donations for the development of the University and the promotion and advancement of science, social sciences, humanities, educational and cultural activities. It also provides long-term strategic advice on fundraising to the Council, and monitors and reports all matters in relation to fundraising activities and initiatives. The EdUHK Foundation is managed by a Board of Stewards constituted of devote supporters from the business and professional community who wish to share their expertise, provide personal support, and guide the Foundation towards achieving its objectives and mission in enhancing the further development of higher education.
