What is CapitaLand-U Care Resilience & Enablement Fund (CAP+Ure Fund)?
CAP+Ure Fund provides interim financial support for low-to-medium income union members who are impacted by total and sudden (unexpected) loss of income*. To ensure that the needs of their children and senior dependents are not compromised, each eligible dependent will receive a one-time disbursement of $300 worth of FairPrice vouchers to provide for their daily necessities and children’s schooling needs.
The programme is a collaboration with CapitaLand Hope Foundation, where $250 of the award quantum per dependent is contributed by the foundation, and $50 is contributed by the union/association/NTUC General Branch.
*Note: Unexpected loss of income refers to those who became unemployed due to involuntary reasons such as retrenchment, cessation of business, dismissals or termination due to illness, injury or accident.
