As a responsible member of the society, REDAS also contributes towards making Singapore a better place to live and work in. Our programmes include:

· The Building Art Fund

The Building Art Fund started in the early 1990s to generate greater awareness for the importance of the internal & external art in buildings, and the creation of an aesthetic environment in and around buildings.

The Fund aims at promoting architectural design competitions and 3-D art (sculptures and visual arts –paintings & calligraphy) to adorn buildings. The Fund is also used to nurture and create opportunities for budding artists. REDAS was one of the award recipients for "Friend of the Arts Award" at the Patron of the Art Award 2000 organised by National Arts Council on 1 September 2000. Sculpture Square is one of the many beneficiaries of the REDAS Building Art Fund.

In September 2000, REDAS sponsored one house to be erected by the Global Housing Foundation. The latter initiated a low-cost housing project in the inner city slums of Managua, Nicaragua to provide basic housing for the very poor.

· REDAS Award Scheme (Previously known as Research & Educational Fund) 

The REDAS’ Research & Education Fund was set up in 1989 to provide avenues for the Association to undertake research programmes, award scholarships, bursaries, gold medal, book prizes to certain approved institutes of higher learning as well as to participate in other educational programme or undertake projects pertaining to the real estate industry. Beneficiaries for the above Fund are students from tertiary institutions/polytechnics, namely National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic and Ngee Ann Polytechnic.

The Fund was renamed to be aligned with its new focus and objective for REDAS to discharge its corporate social responsibilities in a meaningful and cost-effective manner that would benefit REDAS, its members, REDAS’ business partners and/or the recipients of the Scheme. The new Scheme awards the top student or a team of students for the outstanding final year project with practical application to the real estate industry.
