The Eastern District Council (EDC) is a local government body in Hong Kong that plays a vital role in community governance and district-level funding. Unlike private family foundations, the EDC operates using public funds to support community-building, cultural, and welfare activities within the Eastern District (which includes areas like North Point, Quarry Bay, and Chai Wan). As part of the 18 District Councils in Hong Kong, the EDC acts as an advisory body to the government and manages the Community Involvement Fund. Its goal is to foster social harmony, promote district-wide culture and sports, and address the specific needs of residents in the Eastern District.
