Thank you for the money; how else can Singapore enhance its social compact?

SINGAPORE’S Budget 2025 kept up with the expectations of many, allocating significant funding for social initiatives.

This includes a S$250 million SG Gives matching grant to provide dollar-for-dollar matching for donations made through the Community Chest, President’s Challenge and the Collective for a Stronger Society. There is also a S$270 million top-up to the Tote Board’s Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, which helps charities apply for matching support for their fundraising projects.

In total, over S$600 million in matching funds will be set aside to support charity fundraising and social causes.
