Grants
Grants are suitable for social enterprises seeking shorter-term assistance during a period of crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. TBN Asia adopts a “productive philanthropy” approach to awarding grants and will focus on submissions with an emphasis on business development or improving productive capacity.
Who can apply?
The Resilience Programme focuses on Southeast Asian social enterprises facing challenges due to COVID-19. We are currently accepting applications by invitation only.
What is the grant size awarded?
Successful applicants will each receive an award for S$5,000.

If you need assistance, feel free to reach out to us at resilience@tbn.asia .
What is the deadline?
Applications should be received by 16 October 2020.
Does the Resilience Programme work with any other entities?
Malaysian social enterprises may also explore applying for the PENJANA Social Impact Matching Grant offered through the Malaysia Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC). This grant is offering a 1:1 match for funds raised; thus, if a social enterprise is able to raise additional funds from sources other than TBN Asia, it may qualify for even greater matched amounts from MaGIC.
For more details, visit MaGIC’s website and find out the maximum amount your organisation can seek in matched funds. Do note that a successful grant application from TBNA does not guarantee a match from MaGIC.
