-- CHF's commitment of up to S$4 million in this edition includes S$3.5 million in initial funding, with an additional Outcomes Achievement Fund that grantees may unlock upon successful delivery of defined results.
CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF) has announced the second edition of CapitaLand Community Resilience Initiative (CCRI) with a new funding of up to S$4 million. The funding platform will support 12 grantee organisations across China, India, Singapore and Vietnam to empower children and youth. CHF’s commitment in this edition includes an initial mobilisation of S$3.5 million and a new Outcomes Achievement Fund that grantees can unlock upon successful delivery of defined results.
The announcement was made at Philanthropy Asia Summit 2026 (PAS 2026), where CHF held a panel discussion themed “From Commitment to Impact: Catalysing Community Resilience Through Investing in Children and Youth”. The session discussed how collaborative and outcome-driven philanthropy can deliver long-term impact for vulnerable children and youth.
A platform built for sustained impact
The inaugural CCRI last year(opens in a new tab), which awarded S$3.4 million to 12 grantees(opens in a new tab), focused on identifying and funding high-potential non-profit organisations. CCRI takes a broader ecosystem approach in 2026. It strengthens capacity building for non-profits, provides greater access to partner networks and prioritises delivery of outcomes.

Tony Tan, Executive Director, CHF, and Chief Corporate Officer, CapitaLand Development, said:
“At CHF, we believe that investing in children and youth is one of the most powerful ways to build resilient communities. We are deepening our commitment to them with the second edition of CCRI this year. Our partnerships with 12 grantees across Asia and increased funding of up to S$4 million, reinforce our focus on driving measurable, lasting impact.”
CCRI deepened collaborations with two partners this year:
- AVPN, one of Asia’s largest social investment networks, strengthens the grantee selection process by bringing a wide pool of quality applicants, due diligence, outcome monitoring, cross-regional learning and capacity building.
- Philanthropy Asia Alliance (PAA), part of the Temasek Trust ecosystem, identifies CCRI grantees with proven results and taps on its network to further scale high-impact solutions.
Patsian Low, Chief of Markets & Deputy CEO, AVPN said: “AVPN is proud to continue as the global knowledge partner for the second edition of CCRI. What makes this initiative distinctive is its willingness to invest in the capacity of non-profits, partner connections and collective intelligence that enable organisations to grow their good work. This is the kind of coordinated and strategic philanthropy that Asia needs.”
Applications for CCRI 2026 are open from 19 May to 22 June 2026. Organisations are invited to submit proposals across three impact areas to support children and youth, amidst escalating climate risk and socio-economic challenges:
