Giving As One

Singapore, 31 July 2025 – CapitaLand Group, with the support of its philanthropic arm CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), will launch the fifth edition of #GivingAsOne, its annual global community initiative from 1 August to 31 October 2025.  Marking a milestone year with CapitaLand Group’s 25th anniversary and CHF’s 20th anniversary, this campaign also aligns with SG60 initiatives that commemorate Singapore’s 60 years of independence. 

Themed “Building What Matters, Shaping The Future”, #GivingAsOne harnesses the strength of CapitaLand’s ecosystem, uniting staff, partners, and customers to drive meaningful change across education, health, and well-being initiatives that support children, youth, and seniors.  The campaign fosters a strong culture of volunteerism among employees and stakeholders.  It also amplifies social impact through collaborations with like-minded partners.

Mr Tony Tan, Executive Director of CHF and Chief Corporate Officer of CapitaLand Development, said:

“As we celebrate two decades of CHF alongside CapitaLand’s 25th anniversary this year, we reaffirm our commitment to uplift lives and build inclusive, resilient communities.  Through #GivingAsOne, we mobilise our global ecosystem to give back beyond donations, devoting our time, talent, and heart.  The increased number of like-minded partners and passionate staff who have been working with us on this campaign over the years demonstrates how we have and will continue to shape a future where every child, youth, and senior has the opportunity to thrive.”

Strategic collaborations in line with SG60 spirit of giving

At the heart of #GivingAsOne this year is a powerful call to empower collective giving and promote social inclusion in communities.  In Singapore, CapitaLand is rolling out a range of activities for staff and partners, while rallying the wider public to contribute to causes in line with both SG60 and CHF.

1) SG Cares Movement and Give.AsiaA key collaboration is with Give.Asia and the SG Cares Movement, a national movement championed by the SG Cares Office in the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) to build a more caring and inclusive society.  To commemorate SG60, CHF will donate S$20 for every volunteer hour logged in Singapore on Give.Asia’s volunteering platform.  The initiative aims to reach 50,000 volunteer hours, with CHF pledging up to S$1 million towards programmes that benefit children and youth under the Collective for a Stronger Society (CSS), a multi-year initiative by the Community Foundation of Singapore and the Community Chest to provide sustained, integrated assistance for lower-income families.

2) SGSHARE: CapitaLand supports SGSHARE, Community Chest’s national giving programme that matches donations to support communities in need.  From August 2025, CapitaLand staff, tenants, and shoppers can contribute monthly or one-time donations through SGSHARE to aid adults with disabilities, children with special needs, at-risk youth, persons with mental health conditions, and families and seniors in need, reinforcing the spirit of giving during SG60.

Community connections that uplift seniors

CapitaLand continues to drive sustained volunteerism and strengthen inclusive communities by rallying staff to volunteer in targeted programmes that benefit seniors in Singapore.  In line with this, CapitaLand, as one of the first corporates in Singapore, has collaborated with National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) as well as KampungKakis this year to support Giving Circles.  Three groups of three to five staff volunteers will be paired with one socially isolated senior each.  With resources funded by CHF, volunteers will make joint decisions to engage and provide dedicated care for the senior over a period of six months. 

The second edition of the #LoveOurSeniors Carnival will take place on 8 October 2025 for 1,000 seniors at IMM, following a successful inaugural event last year.  The carnival, co-designed with senior volunteers, charity partners, and students from Ngee Ann Polytechnic’s Diploma in Psychology and Community Development, will feature activities that enhance seniors’ physical and mental health, foster inclusion, and facilitate social interaction, with support from CapitaLand staff, tenants, and partners.

Other #LoveOurSeniors initiatives during #GivingAsOne include therapeutic horticulture, art therapy sessions, essential care pack distributions, and meal deliveries, all aimed at empowering seniors to age in place with dignity and connection.

Sustained engagement for well-being and growth in communities beyond Singapore

Across CapitaLand’s global markets, #GivingAsOne initiatives are tailored to address local community needs by leveraging CapitaLand’s network and partnering organisations that share a commitment to community impact.  These initiatives empower children and youth through inclusive education, improved learning environments, and essential support services.  From promoting social mobility for children with special needs in China to enhancing educational access and opportunities in India, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, CapitaLand's efforts reflect a locally grounded and collaborative approach to driving meaningful change.  Details on global #GivingAsOne activities can be found in the Annex.

20 years of impact and resilience

Through strategic collaborations, dedicated programmes, and a robust ecosystem of partners and volunteers, CapitaLand continues to advance resilience and inclusivity in communities.  The annual #GivingAsOne campaign amplifies this collective impact globally, bringing together staff, partners, and customers to uplift the lives of vulnerable groups supported by CHF.  Since 2005, CHF has supported more than 540,000 beneficiaries including children, youth, and seniors in need.  CHF has also donated more than S$64 million and funded over 200 initiatives with partners across geographies as of 31 December 2024.
