1. Volunteerism:
- Singapore Care (SG Cares): Volunteering is easy with SG Cares, an online portal that provides flexible volunteer opportunities for the community. SG Cares structures episodic volunteer projects that volunteers can sign up online for. It enables caring but busy people to volunteer as and when they can. Go to www.sgcares.org to find out more.
- Vertical Kampong: Vertical Kampong aims to help build connected and mutually supportive communities in our neighbourhoods by creating platforms that enhance informal volunteering activities within the neighbourhood.
2. Philanthropy
- Singapore Gives (SG Gives): Giving is as easy as search, select and donate with SG Gives, an online donation portal for Singapore-registered charities. Whether you are a donor or a fundraising charity, www.sggives.org is a tool available for your use 24 hours a day
- New Initiative Grant (NIG): NIG provides seed funding for new initiatives strong in volunteerism or philanthropy that meet community needs in Singapore. Each grant is worth up to $200,000. Visit www.nvpc.org.sg/grants for details on eligibility.
- Community Foundation: NVPC is affiliated to the Community Foundation, an independent, non-profit philanthropic organisation which raises funds from donors in the community and provides philanthropic services to them.
3. Capacity Building:
