Philanthropy

In 2009, Huo set up the Huo Family Foundation with a mission to support education, communities and the pursuit of knowledge. Since its inception, the Foundation has given or pledged $55m to charitable causes.[8][9] The foundation was recently credited with supporting the Oxford Internet Institute's study into the effect of prolonged game-time on adolescent mental health [10]

As a response to the Coronavirus pandemic, the Huo Family Foundation made a number of donations to UK universities to fund research into testing and tracing the virus. This included donations to Imperial College's REACT study,[11][12] King's College's investigation into the longevity of coronavirus antibodies,[13] and Oxford University's work in partnership with the Office for National Statistics looking into how immunity in the population changes with infection and vaccination.[14][15]

The foundation additionally funds scholarships to graduate and PhD students studying in the sciences and policy sectors at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (Huo Scholarship), Cambridge University’s Cavendish Laboratory (PC Ho. Scholarship Fund), and Princeton University Graduate School.[16][17][18]

It also supports secondary level headship networking through Teach for All.[19]

The Huo Family Foundation has made gifts supporting exhibitions and productions at the British Museum, Natural History Museum, Courtauld Gallery, National Gallery, Royal National Theatre, Royal Opera House and Science Museum, London.[20][21][22][23][24][25]

In December 2020 Huo became a signatory of the Giving Pledge, affirming his commitment to giving the majority of his wealth to charitable causes [26][27]
