There are countless communities needing support.
There are numerous organisations in search of
such communities.
All it takes is a partnership.
And barriers find balance;
Benevolence becomes breakthroughs;
The Singapore International Foundation makes
such partnerships possible.
All we need is a partner like you.
A Partner for Good.
One of SIF’s key functions is to promote international volunteerism. Through this, we help develop individuals and organisations into socially-responsible global citizens while contributing to the growth of overseas communities.
Our partners can choose how they want to support sustainable development projects in overseas communities – either through volunteerism, funding or both.
Why Partner Us?
There are many organisations today – too many to count – with impressive community projects. Their social responsibility records speak well of their corporate philosophy, garnering for themselves the trust and respect of stakeholders and a competitive advantage in the markets they serve.
As Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) gains momentum across Asia and triple bottom-line reporting becomes the norm, more and more organisations want to be in the same position – seeking reliable partners to fulfill their social development responsibilities.
SIF is that partner – connecting you to projects overseas that are aligned to your corporate philosophy. We provide a platform for philanthropic contributions and staff development. Your involvement can change the lives of people in developing communities while forging a stronger corporate identity and promoting staff development through volunteerism.
Projects that need Partners
SIF’s projects benefit a multitude of people in disadvantaged communities by leveraging on Singapore’s areas of excellence.
Some examples:
EDUCATION: Bring computer & English literacy to rural communities, establish informal Education Centres for village children to have access to education; operate a mobile library; impart life skills & entrepreneurial knowledge to street youth; uplift the standard of special needs education; and more.
HEALTHCARE: Transfer knowledge and skills in health-related disciplines such as physiotherapy, palliative care, surgery, cardiac intensive care; set up a “mother & child clinic” to reduce infant mortality rate, etc.
Community Development & Social Enterprise
Empower a community with the abilities to bring improvements and effect changes to their standard of living, e.g. offer skills training, provide resources and organise systems to help a village establish a livelihood project to generate income.
Social Welfare
Provide support for public education on AIDS; protect women and children against human-trafficking & abuse; transfer knowledge and skills for the rehabilitation of drug addicts, etc.
Environmental Science
Provide clean drinkable water & sanitation facilities to villages plagued by water-borne diseases; offer solar energy lighting to remote villages without electricity; preserve the biodiversity of habitats, etc.
Partner Us for Good
We invite corporations and community partners to support such life-transforming projects, by providing funds; extending staff expertise or core business competencies; and contribute resources, to benefit disadvantaged communities overseas.
Be it ad hoc, short or long-term community involvement, SIF is the platform to help you translate your organisation’s values into viable programmes that benefit both humanity and your organisation.
