DRe1M
In addition to encouraging volunteering, 1M4U offers funds to youth volunteer organisations through the Dana Sukarelawan 1Malaysia (DRe1M) initiative. The funds are not disbursed in any set amount, but tend to be low as they are designed for community level organisations. In 2012 only RM200,000 out of the RM100,000,000 allocated to the program was used.
