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

As part of our nation’s SG60 celebration, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced the launch of the SG Gives Matching Grant during Budget 2025. This initiative offers a dollar-for-dollar match for donations made through Community Chest’s SGSHARE programmme. To encourage long-term giving, an enhanced $1.50 matching for every dollar committed to multi-year donations of at least $250,000 per year, for a minimum of three years to SGSHARE. These initiatives aim to provide a meaningful opportunity for Donors to amplify their giving and be part of a national movement to drive greater impact together.

SGSHARE

SGSHARE is the national regular giving programme that ensures a consistent stream of funding for various social service agencies, especially those less visible or relatively unknown.
