Overview:

Social responsibility and giving back is one of our core values at CRCC Asia. We believe in the power of our alumni to create positive change in their communities and around the world. To support and encourage these efforts, we invite our alumni to apply for the CRCC Asia Alumni Social Responsibility Fund. This fund provides sponsorship support of up to $300 USD for alumni-led charitable initiatives that align with our values and mission.

Please note that you are welcome to submit an application at any stage of the project’s development but the funds will be disbursed only after the project’s successful completion and submission of required documentation.

 

  1. Alumni Status: Applicants must be alumni of a CRCC Asia program. This includes all full-term internships, placement-only internships, and short-term program participants.
  2. Project Focus: The initiative must have a clear social responsibility component. This can include, but is not limited to, projects in areas such as education, environmental sustainability, healthcare, poverty alleviation, gender equality, or community development. Projects that have a direct and measurable impact on underserved or vulnerable populations will be given priority.
  3. Location: The project can be based anywhere in the world, but preference will be given to initiatives that benefit local communities in the alumni’s home country or where they completed their CRCC Asia program.
  4. Stage of Development: The initiative can be at any stage of development, from the planning phase to implementation.
  5. Funding Utilisation: The requested funds should be earmarked for direct project costs, such as materials, resources, transportation, or other necessary expenses. Overhead costs or administrative fees should not exceed 10% of the total fund allocation.
  6. Sustainability and Long-Term Impact: The initiative should have a clear plan for sustainability and long-term impact. Applicants should provide a detailed description of how the project will continue to benefit the community or target group beyond the initial funding period.
  7. Partnerships and Collaboration: While not required, initiatives that involve partnerships with other organisations, local communities, or other alumni will be viewed favourably. These collaborations can help to amplify the impact of the project.
  8. Reporting and Accountability: Recipients of the CRCC Asia Alumni Social Responsibility Fund must commit to providing regular updates on the progress of their initiative. This includes a final report detailing the outcomes, challenges, and successes of the project. The funds will be disbursed only after the submission of required materials.
  9. Application Process: Applicants must submit a completed application form, which includes a project proposal, budget outline, and timeline. Applicants may also be required to participate in an interview or provide additional documentation to support their application.
  10. Selection Process: Applications will be reviewed by a selection committee composed of CRCC Asia staff and possibly external experts in relevant fields. The committee will evaluate the proposals based on alignment with CRCC Asia’s values, feasibility, impact potential, and sustainability.
  11. Fund Disbursement: Successful applicants will receive the funds in one disbursement upon the submission of required materials demonstrating the successful completion of the project or phase that is being applied for.
  12. Application Deadlines: Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but there may be specific deadlines depending on the availability of funds.

Once an application is received, we will get back to you within 2 weeks. If your application is approved for funding, you will receive a provisional commitment from us. Funds will be released after the demonstrated successful completion of the project and submission of required materials. 

By encouraging our alumni to apply for the CRCC Asia Alumni Social Responsibility Fund, we aim to foster a global network of changemakers who are committed to creating a more equitable and sustainable world.
