Yu Foundation

We strive to encourage the younger generation to be at the front of public welfare activities, to not only think about reform, but also take action accordingly, to make philanthropy and charity their lifetime passion.

Guangdong Yu Foundation, established on August 6, 2012, is a grant-making foundation with a focus on encouraging the participation of the youth in public welfare activities. We support public welfare undertakings operated by young teams with the average age of team members under 28, or projects that promote such undertakings.
