FUN! Fund: Improving The Well-Being Of Seniors
We all aspire to live well in our golden years. Staying healthy, having a positive outlook, and being surrounded by a supportive community are essential for our well-being as we grow older. FUN! Fund makes this a reality for our seniors through creative initiatives that help them stay socially connected and enjoy life to the fullest.
Sayang Sayang Fund: The Power Of Collective Giving
When the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in February 2020, CFS responded swiftly by establishing the Sayang Sayang Fund. This was to address the urgent needs of supporting frontline workers and those adversely affected. The emergency response fund garnered $9.7 million in donations, making it our largest-ever community impact fund.
Sayang Sayang Fund impacted hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries and it continues to support ground-up initiatives and social organisations that are driving lasting change in our society.
Learning Initiatives For Employment: Uplifting Disadvantaged Job Seekers
Learning Initiatives for Employment (LIFT) has been a crucial support system for those facing challenges in securing and maintaining employment, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Since its launch in 2019, LIFT has been dedicated to providing vocational training and socio-emotional support to vulnerable job seekers. Through partnerships with social enterprises Bettr Barista and Dignity Kitchen, the organisation has successfully trained and placed over a hundred beneficiaries in the food and beverage industry, arming them with the skills needed for sustainable employment.
