Making a Difference, One Grant at a Time

Our Story

At Crocodile Foundation, our story is one of passion, compassion and unwavering commitment to uplifting others. It all started with our late founding members, Dato’ Dr. Tan Hian Tsin and his wife To’ Puan Dr. Tsao Sui Lan, who shared a deep concern for the struggles faced by marginalised communities.

Our purpose is to provide support, resources, and grants to registered organisations involved in charitable work that share our commitment to social progress and community empowerment.
