Call to corporates: Go beyond monetary donations and collaborate with social service agencies to offer skills

SINGAPORE - Society should cultivate a culture of regular giving over a sustained period to support social service agencies helping the vulnerable, through good times and bad, and also collaborate with them to offer their skills.

"While we have started looking into the ways we can tackle these existing gaps, the Government alone does not have all the answers. We invite corporate partners to journey alongside us and develop more innovative and sustainable ways of giving," said Mr Lee, who is also National Development Minister.

"Long after Covid is subdued, social and healthcare needs will continue to grow and become even more complex, so we will need to make sure that public spending, philanthropic giving as well as volunteerism combine forces to drive even better outcomes than they do today," the minister urged.
