TRCL manages The Business Times Budding Artists Fund (BT BAF) which was initiated in 2004 and adopted by The Business Times in 2005.

BT BAF believes that the arts transforms lives and seeks to provide young people from financially-disadvantaged backgrounds with access and opportunities to experience the arts. Since 2005, BT BAF has reached out to more than 20,000 beneficiaries through a variety of programmes comprising of arts training, camps, workshops and signature events.
