Our Story
In 2007, David – a philanthropist and former CFO of Morgan Stanley Asia Pacific – noticed a critical gap in Hong Kong’s social sector. After learning that only 1.9% of non-profit organizations received government funding, he recognized the urgent need to support small and medium-sized organizations. He reached out to Nancy, a former management consultant and entrepreneur, to explore solutions.
Together, they envisioned a way to unlock the sector’s untapped potential. Nancy developed the business model: mobilizing skilled professionals as volunteer consultants to help social purpose organizations (SPOs) scale their impact. She also saw the need for a platform to foster knowledge-sharing and collaboration across the sector.
Thus, ACS came into being.
