Fundação Oriente was founded in 1988 and aims to provide financial support to all actions that can enrich the links between Portugal and the countries in the East, especially China and the former Portuguese colony, Macau.

In East Timor, Fundação Oriente is present since 2000 and it has been granting scholarships to Timorese researchers and promoting training and social integration programmes.
