CapitaLand Launches Second CCRI Edition with S$4 Million Fund for Youth Support in Asia

New Delhi, May 20, 2026: CapitaLand Hope Foundation has announced the second edition of the CapitaLand Community Resilience Initiative (CCRI) with new funding of up to S$4 million to support vulnerable children and youth across India, China, Singapore and Vietnam.

The initiative will support 12 grantee organisations working in the areas of education, skills development and mental well-being. The 2026 edition of CCRI includes an initial mobilisation of S$3.5 million along with a new Outcomes Achievement Fund that grantees can access upon achieving defined results.

The announcement was made during the Philanthropy Asia Summit 2026, where the foundation hosted a panel discussion on collaborative and outcome-driven philanthropy for children and youth.

According to the foundation, the latest edition expands its focus beyond funding by strengthening non-profit capacity building, enabling access to partner networks and encouraging outcome-based delivery.

Mr Gauri Shankar Nagabhushanam, Director, CHF (India), and CEO, CapitaLand India Trust said, “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 has also strengthened collaborations with partners including AVPN and Philanthropy Asia Alliance. AVPN will support grantee selection, due diligence, monitoring and capacity building, while Philanthropy Asia Alliance will help identify and 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. Selected grantees will be announced in November 2026, with projects scheduled for implementation between January 2027 and December 2028.
