POP’s Foundation

What POP’s Foundation does

POP's Foundation (POPF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2004 and headquartered in Livermore, California. It funds and supports the Prince of Peace Children's Home (POPCH) in Tianjin, China — founded in 2003 by Kenneth Yeung and recognized as the first official foreign-run children's home in China approved to cooperate with overseas Chinese. The foundation cares for hundreds of severely disabled orphans, providing medical care, life skills training, and adoption placement; over 50 children have been adopted domestically and internationally since 2007, with daily operations in China managed by World Vision International since 2007.

The foundation generates no product or service revenue. Its income model is entirely donation-based, drawn from individual contributors, recurring monthly newsletter subscribers, charity concerts featuring celebrity performers (e.g., Jade Kwan SHiNE in November 2023 raising $200,000; Adia Chan Deep Deep Love in 2025), China Culture Trips for adoption families, and faith-based community partnerships. US administrative staff and board members are 100% volunteers and interns, yielding near-zero overhead.

Beyond the China children's home, the foundation operates a three-story community center at 1632 S. King St. in Honolulu, Hawaii (acquired February 2021), which hosts professional counseling and therapy through A Family Tree on the second floor and faith-based outreach programming on the third floor and rooftop. The foundation also co-produced the award-winning short film "What If We Be Together" and the TV series "Love Across the Pacific," and engages tennis player Michael Chang as an ambassador for the children's home. No proprietary technology is used; the operating model is event-driven fundraising paired with direct service delivery through partner organizations.
