Even the smallest act of love can illuminate the darkest path, offering hope, dignity, and practical support to individuals and communities who need it most.
The Rao Family Foundation is a Singapore-based grant making foundation established in 2024 by Jimmy Budiarto Rao and Yohana Limarno, as a long-term platform for their family’s philanthropic mission rooted in compassion, guided by purpose, and focused on creating lasting, meaningful change.
At its heart, the Foundation is driven by a quiet conviction: that even the smallest act of love can illuminate the darkest path. More than a charity, it is a heartfelt extension of one family reaching out to others offering hope, dignity, and practical support to individuals and communities who need it most.
The Rao Family Foundation exists to uplift lives, strengthen communities, and advance human dignity through purposeful philanthropy.
Rooted in the values of compassion, responsibility, and long-term stewardship, the Foundation supports initiatives that empower individuals to live with independence, dignity, and inclusion — especially those with special needs and underserved communities.
As a family-led grantmaking foundation based in Singapore, we partner with trusted institutions, social service organisations, and community leaders to deliver meaningful and sustainable impact. Our work focuses on addressing real social needs through education, advocacy, caregiver support, and access to essential services, while fostering a more inclusive society for all.
Guided by a long-term vision, the Rao Family Foundation is committed to building a more compassionate, inclusive, and resilient future — one life, one family, and one community at a time.
To shape a future where inclusion is the norm, dignity is preserved, and every life has the opportunity to flourish.

We strive to give not only generously, but thoughtfully. Our hope is that each gift contributes to meaningful, long term impact touching lives, strengthening families, and uplifting communities.
We look for multiplier effects in every project, so that each effort can spark broader transformation and ripple outward across individuals, families and society at large.
While the foundation has long embraced a quiet approach to giving, we have come to see that stepping forward, when done thoughtfully, can itself be a way to serve. By lending our voice, we hope to shine a light on the causes we care about and encourage others to walk alongside.
If every family is to adopt one cause with care and intention, we believe that the collective impact could help reshape society for the better.
Your kindness can light up lives. Join us in creating a world filled with care and opportunity.
