DBS extends $23m grant money to 23 enterprises

Of this, 8 were small and medium enterprises.

DBS Foundation announced it awarded a total of $3m grant to 15 social enterprises and 8 small and medium enterprises.

The grant is expected to scale the growth and impact of the 23 awardees, which will be in addition to the Foundations community of more than 10 businesses.

“These businesses play an increasingly important role in creating new solutions to improve lives and livelihoods, and enable change,” Karen Ngui, Group Head, DBS Strategic Marketing and Communications and Board Members of DBS Foundation, said.

“We are privileged to stand alongside these enterprises to help them to build and scale their businesses, as they strive to provide long-term solutions to improve the state of our planet and support the communities in which they live and work in. By coming together and marshalling our collective strengths, we hope to create a greater impact together.”

Collectively, the 23 awardees target to support over 2 million lives and livelihoods, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, slash food waste by over 132,000 tonnes, and provide 1,000 million litres of clean water.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
