CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand Group, has unveiled its inaugural S$3 million Community Resilience Initiative, marking a significant milestone in the company’s 25th anniversary and CHF’s 20th anniversary celebrations. Announced at the AVPN Southeast Asia Summit 2025 in Singapore, this initiative is the first regional grant call for social resilience projects, aiming to empower vulnerable children and youth across Asia.
The initiative, in collaboration with AVPN, the largest network of social investors in Asia, seeks to equip young individuals with essential skills and support systems to thrive amidst adversity. Non-profit organisations in China, India, Singapore, and Vietnam are invited to submit applications for projects focusing on education, health, and well-being. These projects must demonstrate social impact, scalability, and effective implementation across the regions where CapitaLand operates.
Miguel Ko, Chairman of CHF and CapitaLand Investment, emphasised the importance of building resilient communities for sustainable growth. “Through the launch of our inaugural S$3 million CapitaLand Community Resilience Initiative, we aim to empower individuals and families with the resources and support they need to navigate challenges and emerge stronger,” he stated.
Naina Subberwal Batra, CEO of AVPN, highlighted the alignment of CHF’s commitment to philanthropy with AVPN’s mission to strengthen the ecosystem and direct capital towards meaningful outcomes in Asia. The initiative will focus on three key impact areas: education, skills development, and physical and mental health.
Applications for the initiative are open until 25 April 2025, with submissions evaluated on their potential social impact and outcomes. This effort underscores CapitaLand’s ongoing commitment to fostering resilience and inclusivity in the communities it serves.
