The Government established the Beat Drugs Fund (BDF) in 1996 with a capital outlay of HK $350 million to promote and support worthwhile anti-drug programmes which can help address the problem of drug abuse, particularly amongst the young, and to promote community-wide efforts and programmes in the campaign against drug abuse in Hong Kong. In 2010, the Government further injected $3 billion into the BDF to support sustained anti-drug efforts of various organisations in the community. Income generated by the BDF is used to provide financial support to worthwhile anti-drug projects.
