“我父亲给我讲过一句话，他说如果将来你有机会接受教育，一定要争取去最好的平台，因为你能最有效率地学到知识。在你有限的生命里，你有机会能跟更优秀的人在一起，你的成长是最快的。让我们一同继续在公益之路携手同行。一个人走路，可能会走得比较快，但是一群人走路，绝对有机会走得更远。”2018年，李晓波校友在ELP2期开班仪式致辞上表示。

励基金创始人相信慈善不仅仅只是开支票

励基金创始人、风险投资家李晓波先生相信运动可以改变人生，帮助人们建立信心、强化心智。励基金的项目之一是支持体育、教育事业以及促进慈善家之间的合作。

关于做慈善，风险投资家李晓波先生想做的不仅仅是向慈善机构开支票。他说道：“给一张支票太简单了，做慈善我一直相信“四出”，指的是“出心、出力、出席、出钱”，当人们看到你身体力行地做实事和你付出的努力以及真心时，一切都会变得不同。”
李先生出生于中国辽宁，2013年加入风和资本，随后家人也一同来到新加坡。他现在是风和基金管理公司的合伙人，也是两个孩子的父亲。在过去的 15 年里，他一直积极投身慈善事业。他的慈善之旅始于狮子会，曾经是中国北京狮子会的主席。在狮子会服务期间，他很高兴能够帮助别人，改变他人的生活。他说：“人生最重要的是找到生命的意义。”今年四月份，他在新加坡注册了励基金，英文名Li Foundation以家族的姓氏命名。中文名“励基金”则取“鼓励、激励”之意，他希望用这个名字来鼓舞人心、影响生命。
亚洲慈善协会是一个为亚洲慈善家提供互相合作、解决社会问题的平台，李晓波先生作为亚洲慈善协会中的一员，一直积极参与促进慈善家之间的合作。体育、教育事业是励基金一直以来关注的重点领域，其中一个代表项目就是励基金与新加坡体育关怀组织共同发起的综合运动计划（SLFMSP）公益项目 | SLFMSP | 运动改变人生。该计划通过培训低收入家庭的孩子游泳和跑步等运动，来培养他们的抗挫折能力和坚持不懈的品格，减少不良行为对他们的影响。同时，这些孩子通过参加各种公益活动来回馈社会。
励基金还支持了一个由新加坡美国学校的学生所发起的编程俱乐部（Code for All）公益项目 | Code For All ｜新加坡年轻一代这样做公益！加入俱乐部的学生们向低收入家庭的孩子们教授基本的编程技能。值得一提的是，李晓波先生的大儿子是这个项目的发起人之一，他一直以来受父亲的影响热衷于公益慈善。
为了改善健康、锻炼心肺功能，李晓波先生在 40 多岁时开始跑马拉松。从那时起，他已经参加了 60 多场马拉松比赛。2018年，他完成了世界马拉松挑战赛，连续7天在7大洲跑了7场马拉松。
“我相信运动可以改变人生，帮助一个人建立信心、强化心智。”他说。“我希望分享我跑马拉松的故事以激励他人，让他们相信自己也能做到！”

Li Foundation Founder Believes in Giving Beyond Just Writing Cheques

Venture capitalist Lionel Li Xiaobo, who founded the Li Foundation, believes sports can build confidence and strengthen the mind. Supporting sports and education and promoting collaboration between philanthropists are among the foundation’s focus.

Venture capitalist Lionel Li Xiaobo, wants to do more than just write cheques to charities. The founder of the Li Foundation said: "Giving a cheque is too simple… I believe in the four types of giving." These are giving money, showing the heart to help, putting in the effort to help and being present, he said. "When people can see your presence and the effort you put in, and that you care, that makes all the difference."
Mr Li, who was born to a middle-class family in Liaoning, China, is now a Singapore permanent resident. He moved to Singapore with his family in 2013. The father of two teenage sons is a partner at FengHe Fund Management, which has about $4 billion in assets under management and is headquartered in Singapore. The philanthropist declined to reveal his wealth, but said that he has been involved in charitable work for the past 15 years.

For example, he is a former president of the Beijing Lions Club, a charity service organisation. “I feel happy being able to help change lives,” he said. "Finding meaning in life is the most important." The Li Foundation, which was registered as a charity in April, takes its name from Mr Li's surname. The Chinese character for Li means to encourage, which is what he does by urging his partners and colleagues to join him in his philanthropic work.

He is also a member of the Asia Philanthropy Circle, a platform for Asian philanthropists to collaborate and address social problems. Supporting sports and education and promoting collaboration between philanthropists are among the Li Foundation's focus. For example, the SportCares-Li Foundation Multi-Sport pro-gramme trains young people in sports such as swimming and running to help them develop resilience and perseverance.These young people also give back by volunteering in various activities.

The foundation also supports a coding club, where students from the Singapore American School teach children from low-income families basic coding skills. The project was initiated by Mr Li's elder son, who is a student at the school, and his schoolmates.

Code for All

Sport is an activity close to Mr Li's heart. He started running marathons in his late 40s in a bid to improve his health. He has run in over 60 marathons since then. In 2018, he completed the World Marathon Challenge, where he ran seven marathons on seven consecutive days in seven continents.

"I believe that sports can help a person build confidence and strengthen his mind," he said. " I share my (marathon) story to inspire others (to believe) that they too can do it" .
