The 2026-27 round of the Funding Scheme on the Promotion of Family Education, launched by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Family Council, is open for applications starting from today (October 5) until November 4.
      
     Launched in October 2024, the Scheme seeks to subsidise non-profit-making community family education projects to raise public awareness of family education and its importance, and further promote family values to enhance the well-being of families and social harmony.
      
     The Scheme covers various family-related themes, such as education for new parents, parent-child education, maintenance of family relationships, strengthening of family cohesion and solidarity, inheritance of good family values and traditional virtues, assisting parents to guide their children and adolescents towards positive, proactive, and self-reliant values from an early age, and other marriage-related subjects, etc, in order to meet the needs of different families. Apart from the above-mentioned themes, applicant organisations may apply for funding to organise suitable projects with other family-related themes having regard to the concerns or needs of the community. A proposed project may feature more than one theme provided that they are family-related. The funding caps for each 12-month and 18-month project are $800,000 and $1,200,000 respectively.
      
     Details of the Scheme including the application guide and application form are available on the website of the Scheme (www.pfe.gov.hk). Interested eligible bodies and non-governmental organisations may submit applications.
