The Fund aims to provide incentives to the welfare sector to expand their network in seeking and securing corporate participation in helping the disadvantaged, and encourage the business sector to take up more corporate social responsibility in helping to create a cohesive, inclusive and caring society. The Government provides matching grants to donations in cash or/and in kind made by business corporations to support welfare non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in running social welfare projects. In May 2010, the Finance Committee of Legislative Council endorsed an injection of $200 million into the Fund to encourage further cross-sector collaboration to help the disadvantaged.     14.9 Since March 2005, six rounds of application have been launched. SWD has promoted the Fund to welfare NGOs and business corporations through kick-off ceremony, sharing cum briefing sessions, website, newsletter and press conferences, etc. As at 31 March 2011, matching grant of over $144 million has been allocated to 113 NGOs for carrying out 355 welfare projects for the disadvantaged, with the cash and/or in-kind donations from 598 business partners.
