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.[7][8] The foundation was recently credited with supporting the Oxford Internet Institute's study into the effect of prolonged game-time on adolescent mental health [9]

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,[10][11] King's College's investigation into the longevity of coronavirus antibodies,[12] 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.[13]

In December 2020 Huo became a signatory of the Giving Pledge, affirming his commitment to giving the majority of his wealth to charitable causes [14][15]
