[ About Lien Foundation ]

The Lien Foundation was founded by Dr. Lien Ying Chow, an eminent Asian business leader, banker and hotelier. His influence extended beyond the private sector and Singapore, as a community leader, diplomat and philanthropist.

Today the Lien Foundation continues Dr. Lien’s legacy of helping the needy and deprived in our society. Its model of radical philanthropy pioneers new ground by investing in innovative solutions, convening strategic partnerships and catalyzing action on social and environmental challenges. The Foundation drives institutional capacity building to address crucial community needs, and empowers individuals to reach their full potential.

The Foundation seeks to enhance educational opportunities for the disadvantaged and the development of nascent fields of studies; excellence in eldercare; and environmental sustainability in water and sanitation.

Working in partnership with The Singapore Hospice Council, the Lien Foundation has created the first-ever doctors’ and nurses’ palliative care fellowships and scholarships in Singapore and championed an inaugural campaign to raise public awareness of hospice palliative care in Singapore. Of the $2m funding provided by the Lien Foundation to the SHC, $1.2m will go to the scholarships and fellowships, and the other $800,000 to public awareness efforts. Go to News Releases for more.
