FIS Fundraising: Kicking Off the Year with Connections and Community

September was a dynamic month for FIS Hong Kong, with Elisa Riou, our fundraising specialist actively engaging with the community, business leaders, and families. These efforts are crucial for securing the resources that enrich our students' education and support our ambitious projects, including the upcoming 'Dream Big' Benefit Gala 2026.
ReThink HK 2025: Championing Green Education
From September 11th to 12th, FIS was at the forefront of the sustainability conversation at ReThink HK. Our team, including Elisa Riou and Martial Jaume, Head of Sustainability, had highly insightful discussions about the future of green education.
Key themes like bridging the "green skills gap" and leveraging our campus as a "living lab" for sustainability resonated deeply. The event reinforced that empowering our students to be leaders and innovators in this space is more critical than ever. We're excited to carry this momentum forward.
Networking for Impact: French Chamber "Back to Work" Afterwork
On September 17th, Elisa Riou represented FIS at the French Chamber's "Back to Work" Networking Cocktail.
These dynamic gatherings are essential for building valuable bridges with the wider business ecosystem in Hong Kong. The primary focus of the evening was to connect with professionals and corporations interested in exploring high-impact corporate partnerships and sponsorship opportunities for the upcoming 'Dream Big' Benefit Gala 2026. Thank you to the French Chamber for organizing this lively event!
Hong Kong Accueil Grand Café de Rentrée: Strengthening Community Ties
Following a brief delay due to Typhoon Ragasa, we were glad to join the Hong Kong Accueil Grand Café de Rentrée on September 30th. This flagship event is invaluable for connecting with new families, reconnecting with long-term parents, and engaging institutional partners.
Our FIS team had a strong presence, hearing inspiring interventions from Mme Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France, and receiving a welcome address from our Head of School, Mr. Bertrand Ferret.
We leveraged this community network to strengthen our ties with FIS families and build crucial relationships by exploring potential sponsorship and in-kind donation opportunities for the Gala.
How You Can Get Involved: Call to Action!
The successful outreach and connections secured in September are paving the way for exciting future initiatives at FIS that directly benefit your child's learning environment. We invite all parents to partner with us in this success:
