Li Foundation recently held its quarterly work meeting. Mr. Ke Ye, Past District Governor of the Beijing Lions Club (District 385) and newly appointed director of Li Foundation, attended the meeting.
Mr. Ye brings two decades of experience in China’s philanthropy sector through his leadership roles within the Lions community, particularly his extensive involvement in the Lions Clubs International Youth Camp and Exchange Program (YCE). He also offers a forward-looking perspective shaped by his participation in the Executive Leadership Program (Singapore) module at the China Global Philanthropy Institute (CGPI), reflecting a strong grounding in contemporary philanthropic thinking and practice.
During the meeting, the Li Foundation team provided an overview of recent work and key developments from the past quarter. Highlights included preparations for the upcoming launch of Inspiring Asia 2026, as well as a significant milestone for the China Early Childhood Development (ECD) Collaborative—the inclusion of ECD priorities in China’s national economic planning framework under the 15th Five-Year Plan.
Mr. Ye shared thoughtful reflections on the Foundation’s initiatives, affirming the importance of sustained, collaborative efforts in advancing social impact. He also expressed his hope that Li Foundation will continue to strengthen its role as a bridge across sectors and geographies, fostering deeper partnerships and driving meaningful, long-term change.
