China Construction Bank (CCB) has announced the establishment of the CCB SG Vision Foundation in collaboration with TT Foundation Advisors, marking the first time a Chinese financial institution has partnered with TT Foundation Advisors in Singapore. The announcement was made at the 2025 LandSea Economic Forum during the China-Singapore Financial Summit. The Foundation aims to support projects in education, healthcare, and environmental protection, promoting a more inclusive and sustainable society.
The Foundation’s inaugural donation will support the Youth Intern Exchange Scheme (YES), a bilateral internship initiative between Singapore and China. This programme, launched in 2019, is managed by Business China in Singapore and the National Talent Mobility Centre in China. It aims to foster cultural exchange and develop global perspectives among young interns. Sun Nianbei, General Manager of CCB Singapore, highlighted Singapore’s robust philanthropic framework and expressed confidence in the partnership with TT Foundation Advisors.
TT Foundation Advisors will provide strategic planning, project management, and impact evaluation services to the Foundation. Dickson Lim, Head of TT Foundation Advisors, stated, “We are honoured to partner with China Construction Bank on their first overseas charitable DAF foundation.” The Foundation plans to collaborate with platforms like CoAxis to connect with global philanthropic resources, enabling cross-sector synergies.
As Singapore celebrates its 60th anniversary and 35 years of diplomatic relations with China, the launch of the CCB SG Vision Foundation signifies a commitment to enhancing philanthropic efforts and fostering mutual understanding between the two nations.
