Impactful giving
Community Chest is the philanthropy and engagement arm of NCSS. Aligned with the vision of NCSS, it strives to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to live a life of dignity to their fullest potential within our society.
For more than 40 years, the Community Chest has woven a tapestry of compassion, engaging communities in fundraising and volunteering endeavours. Its mission revolves around supporting the social service agencies dedicated to caring for communities in need. Over the years, its enduring partnerships with organisations, foundations, and individuals have raised significant funds to uplift social service users.
Every dollar donated to the Community Chest becomes a catalyst for change:
Giving initiatives
Community Chest’s hassle-free monthly giving programme, SHARE, ensures a consistent stream of funding for various social service agencies, especially those less visible or relatively unknown. Under the programme, the Government matches additional donations dollar-for-dollar, exceeding the previous year’s levels, until the end of Financial Year 2023.
Businesses encouraging regular staff donations can use part of the matching funds for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, fostering a sense of community.
The rest of the matching grant is managed by Community Chest to benefit the social service sector. Social service agencies can apply for grants to organise volunteer activities for corporates, enhancing volunteer management capabilities and creating better experiences for corporate volunteers.
100% of donations through SHARE support over 100 social service agencies and over 200 critical programs, empowering:
Children with special needs and youths-at-risk
Adults with disabilities
Seniors in need of support
Families in need of support
Persons with mental health conditions
