The Croucher Foundation is a private trust set up by the late Noel Croucher, one of the founders of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and a British businessman in Hong Kong for over 70 years. It is a private, independent foundation based in Hong Kong without affiliation to any organisation, and derives direct income entirely from its own investments in different parts of the world.

The Foundation is governed by a Board of eleven Trustees, whose Chairman is Professor Y.W. Kan, FRS. Its main office is in Hong Kong, and administration is vested in the Director, who is the chief executive.

The Foundation specializes in promoting the standard of natural science, technology and medicine in Hong Kong through awards and grants to scientists based in and serving Hong Kong. The work of the Foundation has been conducted with the support of panels of international experts invited to assess the scientific values of individual projects.

The Foundation has been an unwavering support for the Pasteur-Asia Virology Course and for the Croucher-Pasteur exchange programme.
