OUR GIVING
Environmental
We recognise the importance of sustainability to address climate change, adverse social and community impact and corporate governance issues. In response, the Foundation commissioned its sustainability initiatives named: GAIL (Greening ASEAN: Initiatives and Leadership) and it was launched at the fourth annual ASEAN Summit in 2018. GAIL’s aim is to facilitate relevant expertise, knowledge and practical measures to enable ASEAN companies to respond to the region’s growing call for sustainable development.
Arts
ARHTPhil is a project initiated by RHTLaw Asia to unite Art and Philanthropy into a cohesive, compelling and credible proposition. ARHTPhil looks to benefit stakeholders such as museums, insurers, banks, collectors and members of the public. The purpose of ARHTPhil is to facilitate more collectors to monetise their art and thus allowing more of such works to be exhibited for public enjoyment. ARHTPhil will achieve this by encouraging banks to customize art received as collateral with a museum instead of keeping them in a vault. Museums will act as custodians. Insurers come in to provide innovative risk management solutions to enhance the banks’ collateral and mitigate risks.
Education
Subhas Anandan Bursary/Scholarships
Established in 2017 through collective donations towards the Subhas Anandan Legacy Fund, the Subhas Anandan Bursary/Scholarships provides financial assistance to full-time undergraduates from the School of Law at the Singapore Management University and to spur them to greater heights of excellence.
Sponsorship to Singapore Management University Pro Bono Centre
The Foundation is pleased to support Singapore Management University Pro Bono Centre to advance the pro bono spirit within the legal fraternity for a period of five years starting from Academic Year 2017-2018.
Disadvantaged Groups
Our teams visited Red Cross Home for the Disabled to do voluntary work and spread cheer to the residents. The Home is one out of a few homes in Singapore catering to the severely disabled. Some of the activities included an art and craft session, carolling and feeding programme. In the season of giving, we partnered with CCF and TOUCH Young Arrows, a service under TOUCH Community Services, to grant the Christmas wishlist of underprivileged children. It was a fulfilling experience as our staff had the opportunity to adopt a gift and write a personal encouragement to the children.
