The Mouse House is extending its charitable operations to Hong Kong, where it built its most recent theme park.
Hong Kong Disneyland Monday announced the creation of The Disney Childrens Fund, which will give grants to local non-profit organizations working with kids.
Backed by the Disney Worldwide Outreach arm, the fund will provide HK1 million $128,000 in its first year. This follows the Hong Kong parks recent launch of a VoluntEARS program by “cast members” — the parks staffers.
“The fund continues our companys longstanding tradition of helping children in the communities we call home throughout the world,” said Jennifer Anopolsky, Disneys senior VP, corporate responsibility.
