5% FOR THE COMMUNITY
Now it’s our turn to give back. Acquiring skills and knowledge for financial well-being is for everybody.
Salmon Thrust is focused on empowering individuals and families with skills and knowledge to plan for their longer-term financial well-being. There are a lot of families which need such skills and knowledge to break out of their financial bondage; and it’s a tremendous task to reach out to all of them.
We have conducted complimentary budgeting and other financial workshops to support community and non-profit organizations. We have worked with Family Service Centres and hope to further our reach to other Voluntary Welfare Organizations (VWOs). If you belong to these groups and would like to have a presentation given to your clients or welfare beneficiaries, please call us at 6323 4728. We would be glad to help.
In addition, Salmon Thrust has also set aside 5% of corporate revenues each year to provide grants to low-income earners, helping them to set up small businesses with the aim of helping them escape poverty-trap and gain self-reliance.
