CapitaLand Hope Foundation(嘉德希望基金), the philanthropic arm of CapitaLand was established in November 2005 to further CapitaLand’s corporate social responsibility commitment to building a better future for underprivileged children. Every year, CapitaLand allocates up to 0.5% of the Group’s net profit to CHF. Its focus is to support programmes for the education, healthcare and shelter needs of underprivileged children.
To date, CHF has supported over 40 charities and programmes in Singapore, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines. Some of the initiatives geared to help underprivileged children include CapitaLand Hope Schools, as well as the CapitaLand Kids Programme.
In China, CHF has collaborated with local charities and authorities to build nine CapitaLand Hope Schools. These include an environmentally sustainable Green Hope School in Sichuan due to be ready in October 2009. CHF also supports the building and/or refurbishment of dormitories, classrooms, libraries, and school facilities in countries like Vietnam and Thailand.
The CapitaLand Kids Programme aims to provide direct financial support for needy children. To date, the programme has provided more than S$500,000 to fund the living, educational and medical expenses of children in Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.
Another signature project is the ‘Green for Hope’ project reaching out to primary schools in Singapore. This project helps to create greater awareness of the importance of recycling amongst young children and to inspire them to care for their less fortunate schoolmates. CHF will donate S$2 for every kilogramme of recyclable waste collected – up to S$1.75 million to the welfare funds of participating schools.
Part of CapitaLand’s corporate philanthropy focus is staff volunteerism, which aims to engage CapitaLand staff with the community. All staff are given 3 days of paid Volunteer Service Leave a year to undertake charitable activities related to the needy and underprivileged as well as the environment.
There are also various regular volunteering activities organized for staff. One such example is CapitaLand PEEK (
Providing Educational Exposure for Kids) where staff volunteers conduct an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of CapitaLand properties to children of staff and underprivileged children supported by CHF. Due to its success, PEEK is now open to primary schools in Singapore. Staff are also encouraged to organise their own volunteering initiatives.
