Does Tote Board fund local groundup community projects?
We do not fund groundup projects directly but we do collaborate with partner organisations to support and mobilise individuals and groundup groups to serve the community. For example:
- The Community Volunteer Scheme with the People's Association (PA) encourages like-minded individuals and groups to collaborate and initiate ground-up initiatives, through flexible and informal volunteering opportunities or co-creation of cause-based projects. Under the scheme, volunteers can apply for grants of up to $1,000 to support the implementation of their community initiatives.
- Under the Tote Board Social Capital Initiative: SMU Inspiring Community Service Grant, Tote Board supports Singapore Management University undergraduates to develop community projects with social service agencies that will benefit vulnerable groups and other beneficiaries. The aim is for these immersive experiences to inspire community service among youths and encourage ground-up leadership in youth giving.
- Tote Board supports the BAGUS Together initiative to empower groundup initiatives. Please visit the BAGUS Together website for resources, learning and collaboration opportunities.
