Tan Chin Tuan Foundation

Project Orion Sponsor

“I get a lot of satisfaction helping people. If you do things for people, these deeds they will not forget.”
– Tan Sri (Dr) Tan Chin Tuan

The Tan Chin Tuan Foundation in Singapore was set up in 1976 by the late Tan Sri (Dr) Tan Chin Tuan to help the poor and needy. Tan Sri Tan, a staunch supporter for education and a great philanthropist, was Singapore’s first and only Deputy President of the Legislative Council and Chairman and subsequently Honorary Life President of several blue-chip companies including OCBC Bank.

Among his many philosophies in life, Tan Sri Tan believed very much in leading a happy and purposeful life, and in sharing this happiness with the less fortunate. This became a basis from which the Foundation conducts its activities, seeing to it that gifts of money are wisely allocated to the deserving, and that there is social outcome to the donation given.

Tan Sri Tan was born in 1908 and passed away in 2005, at the age of 97.
