Community Chest
Engaging corporates and individuals in supporting social causes and raising funds for essential programmes to ensure lasting support for the social service sector.
Last updated 23 March 2026
Overview
As the philanthropic arm of NCSS, we engage with corporates and individuals in the community and provide avenues for them to participate in important causes within the social service sector. This could be through volunteering or corporate social responsibility programmes, as well as fundraising activities. All funds raised are channelled towards over 300 critical programmes and projects that were identified as key areas within the sector.
Ultimately, we hope to build long-term support for the social service sector.
