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.
