Supporting you in citizen-led initiatives and growing a community of social changemakers
Last updated 31 March 2026
We want to hear your ideas on how to improve our community in Singapore. We want to build a culture that nurtures a growing community of social changemakers.
About SG Partnerships Fund
The SG Partnerships Fund is a new $50 million fund that helps Singaporeans, ground-ups and Singapore-registered organisations turn their ideas for citizen-led projects into reality to make a bigger difference in their community.
We offer three tiers of funding to support your project: kickstart a pilot (Seed Tier), grow and amplify their impact across multiple communities (Sprout Tier), or for Singapore-registered organisations to deliver large-scale sector-wide impact (Scale Tier).
Whether you are starting out or pursuing your ideas for the community, we are here to support your journey.
