NEW DELHI: 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.

The inaugural CCRI last year, which awarded S$3.4 million to 12 grantees, 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.

Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam, Director, CHF (India), and CEO, CapitaLand India Trust: “At CHF India, we see first-hand how access to education, skills and emotional support can shape stronger futures for children and youth. Through the second edition of CCRI, we are strengthening our commitment to support organisations that are creating meaningful and measurable impact at the grassroots level. India’s young population represents immense potential, and by working alongside credible partners and non-profits, we hope to help build resilient communities that are better equipped to navigate social and economic challenges.” 

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.”
