Grab, a leading super app in Southeast Asia, has announced a substantial commitment of US$32 million for 2026 through its GrabForGood Fund. This endowment is dedicated to supporting education, community care, and disaster relief programmes across Southeast Asia. The initiative aims to enhance opportunities for underprivileged children and communities, with a focus on education and resilience.
The 2026 roadmap includes the flagship GrabScholar programme, which offers bursaries and full scholarships to students with financial need and academic potential. Additionally, health and meal nutrition programmes will be implemented in schools to improve educational outcomes. The GrabForGood Fund, established by Grab, is supported by a personal contribution of over US$16 million from Grab's Group CEO and Co-Founder, Anthony Tan, alongside other donors.
Anthony Tan stated, “We started the GrabForGood Fund to provide a foundation for people across Southeast Asia to build the future they want for themselves.” The fund aims to remove systemic barriers and create better opportunities for individuals and families.
In 2025, the GrabForGood Fund disbursed over US$2 million, directly supporting more than 3,600 students through the GrabScholar programme. The initiative has expanded to Thailand and Vietnam, alongside existing operations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. In the Philippines, the fund supports the Dietary Supplementation Programme, providing nutritious meals to over 2,600 children.
Beyond the GrabForGood Fund, Grab continues to run community programmes, including the Emerald Circle Scholarships in Singapore and the GrabAcademy for skills development. These efforts align with Grab's commitment to economic empowerment and environmental sustainability across Southeast Asia
