Non-profit-distributing organisations are eligible to apply for the TSF. 

Non-profit-distributing organisations refer to those which do not distribute profits to their directors, shareholders, employees or any other persons, such as trade and industrial organisations, professional bodies or research institutes, etc.

Applicants should either be statutory organisations or organisations registered under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The applicant may engage an implementation agent to assist in carrying out the project. It should provide evidence in the Application Form (e.g. curriculum vitae of key project team members) to show that the agent has the capability to implement the project effectively.

The applicant may also seek support from relevant organisations (other than for-profit commercial entities or those with political affiliations) to act as collaborating organisations for the project.
