Brighter Futures Fund

At Tai Calon, we’re committed to positively impacting our community. One of the ways we do this is through our Brighter Futures Fund, a program designed to support local initiatives that bring about meaningful change.

What is the Brighter Futures Fund? We want to help our community and make the future brighter for everyone. The Brighter Futures Fund is like a  money pot. It’s filled with kind donations from the companies that work with us.

With this fund, we want to help projects that do good things for our community. That means projects that improve schools, keep people healthy and happy, care for our planet, and more. When we all work together, our community becomes even better and happier!

We want to say a big thank you to the companies that put money in our fund. They’re helping us do great things for our community.

How does it work? Our team counts all the money in the Brighter Futures Fund every year. They use money from the companies that gave it to us. Then, they decide how much money we can give to different projects. We do this twice or thrice a year, depending on how much money we have in the special fund.

Selection Process

Once the application window opens, our internal team of staff members from various departments will carefully review all eligible applications. We are dedicated to selecting projects that have the potential to make a positive impact on our community.

Tenant and Resident Involvement

We believe in empowering our tenants and residents to have a say in the projects that matter most to them. After the application review process, all eligible applications will be uploaded to our Facebook page, where tenants and residents can vote for their favourite projects.

Terms and conditions

Your voice matters, and this voting process ensures that the chosen projects align with the needs and desires of our community.
