Program Overview

Magnum is facilitating an eCSR program with Youths who care about their community and are willing to take charge. We offer three things: funding, guidance and publicity. You bring your great idea, your passion and your action plan.

YOU champion your project. Tell us why it deserves to be supported and how it will bring about a positive change.

To take charge, just REGISTER and SUBMIT a project that you are passionate about. All projects must include a fundraising plan. Magnum shall match your fundraising Ringgit for Ringgit up to RM25,000 depending on the size of your Project (refer below for more information).

The projects shall be shortlisted by Magnum for online public voting. All short listed teams shall attend a mentor sharing session organized by Magnum.

The winning 4 Projects SMALL and the 2 Projects BIG are those that have accumulated the highest number of points during the public voting period. At the implementation stage, Magnum will assign observers to take note of the activities carried out by the teams and comment on their relevance in achieving project objectives. They shall also continuously review the management and progress of the project.
