Learn about the Bright Horizons Fund
By giving to the Bright Horizons Fund, you help give thousands of children from low-income families the foundation for a bright future.
The Bright Horizons Fund is NTUC First Campus’s charity fund and is registered as an Institute of Public Character. We provide financial support and a holistic range of programmes for preschool children from low-income families. These programmes cater to the children’s overall learning and well-being, and have impacted more than 38,000 children since its inception in 2008.
Make an impact: See how your donation makes a difference
It’s because of generous donors like you that the Bright Horizons Fund is able to help so many children and their families. Our programmes make a difference because they ensure that no child is deprived of a quality preschool experience due to the financial constraints of the family.
We are developing new programmes and extending assistance all the time to help families when they face unexpected hardships. Here are just a few of our most recent initiatives that donations have made possible.
