Tips for Applicants
Applications are currently closed and will reopen in late 2026. Interested applicants should regularly check the website for updates and prepare proposals aligned with the foundation's focus areas: community welfare, education/environment, and arts. Given the long gap until applications reopen, now is an ideal time to research their priorities and develop strong funding proposals.
