Asian Tigers Group: Two Decades of Giving, $750,000 for Wild Tigers
Twenty years. $750,000. One cause: keeping wild tigers wild.
Asian Tigers Group launched the Tiger Action Fund in 2001 and hasn’t let up since. Charity golf, runs, partnerships and in-kind support have turned a passion for wildlife into practical action.
Backing the global push
In 2017, the Fund joined WWF-Singapore’s Tigers Alive initiative, supporting the TX2 goal of doubling wild tigers by 2022. Protecting tigers also protects forests, biodiversity and the communities that depend on them.
Giving that gets people involved
- Golf: The Asian Tigers Golf Challenge 2026 at Jagorawi Golf & Country Club featured the 12th Annual 45-Hole Challenge and 7th Annual 18-Hole Competition. It raised IDR 100 million for Tiger Sanctuary Barumun, protecting endangered Sumatran tigers.
- Running: In Malaysia, the team took on the 5KM and 10KM at Run for Tigers 2026, organised by WWF-Malaysia with Maybank. Fewer than 150 Malayan tigers remain in the wild.
- Art: In Singapore, Asian Tigers is logistics partner for WWF-Singapore’s AR-mazing Tiger Trail. It put 33 life-sized tiger sculptures across the island to spark conversation on poaching, deforestation and climate change.
The Group’s community work reaches further too, including Feeding Hong Kong.
Why it matters
Tigers are indicators of healthy habitats and umbrella species. Keeping them wild takes sustained investment in protected areas, anti-poaching, habitat restoration, wildlife corridors, research, education and local communities. The $750,000 milestone reflects two decades of participation, partnership and persistence.
What’s next
Same model: bring people together, use our network for good, back conservation partners on the ground. Thank you to every golfer, runner, sponsor, employee, client and partner who made this possible. Stay tuned for more opportunities to support tigers in the wild!
