KARIM FAMILY FOUNDATION

The Karim Family Foundation is an endeavour by the family of Bachtiar Karim and Dewi Sukwanto to formalise the family’s efforts to give back to society. Together with their children and fellow Foundation principals Cindy, Chayadi and Chai Karim, the family has been actively involved in philanthropy as a way of driving awareness to causes and charities dear to them, and encouraging others to also contribute to society in their own unique ways.

The Foundation focuses on four pillars of impact, namely sports development, arts & culture, mental health and education, and is committed to contributing to various communities, starting in Singapore and Indonesia.

Integrity. Sustainability. Excellence. These are some of the values that the family stands by.

Singapore badminton gets $1.1 million boost from sponsors

KFF’s cash sponsorship will be used to fund SBA’s six-tiered podium programme, which currently helps 38 national athletes and more junior players with their overseas expenses when they compete internationally. Costs for each athlete for a two-week event can come up to between $2,000 and $5,000. There are currently eight tier 1 athletes – those who have progressed to the quarter-finals of Super 500 tournaments – who are fully funded by the SBA. With the sponsorship, nine co-funded athletes between tiers two and four can now be fully funded for more tournaments depending on their performance trajectory, which is based on the coaches’ assessment.
