Make arts education accessible #GivingWeekSG

by Singapore Arts School Ltd.

At SOTA, we believe in the power of the arts; where arts could be used to inspire, heal, create and produce many possibilities! With a vision to nurture cultural leaders of tomorrow to positively impact society, SOTA provides a holistic education uniquely anchored in the arts to maximise the potential of our students. This year has been a difficult one for most of us. As we step into the season of giving, let's not forget those who are less fortunate. There are some families' incomes that have been affected and may face temporary financial difficulty. SOTA believes that our students' learnings should not be hindered by such worries, and we need your help to continue making arts education accessible to them. Please consider giving to the SOTA Endowment Fund to help our students continue their journey in pursuing their dreams. The Fund was set up to address the need for long-term sustainability in providing our students with bursaries, scholarships and other financial assistance. A SOTA student spends on school necessities such as school fees, books, art form materials, transport, meals and school uniforms. This Fund shall help us support them, and future students, through challenging times. Every gift matters. Your contribution to this Fund will play a significant role in nurturing our cultural leaders of tomorrow. You will also be able to enjoy a 250% tax rebate* for your generous donation! *For donations $50 and above. #SGCares #GivingWeekSG #CityofGood

Keep The Train Going: Surviving 2021!

by Sing Lit Station Limited

2020 has been a rollercoaster ride. It was rocky at times, but we stuck around & achieved another year of great events! We couldn't have made it without your generous support. The (social) distance didn't stop us from connecting with communities - if anything, we worked even harder. Amidst the pandemic, we created digital gigs for writers while hawking bookstore sales through #StayHomeStayLit2020. We reworked Sing Lit Sounds as an online disco & grew our Sing/SEAPoWriMo online kampungs. We ran NEW WORKS on social media & reimagined Camp Lit on various digital platforms. We set up the HALP fund to help writers in need. We even worked with RMIT (WrICE), National Museum (#NeverBeforesg), National Gallery (An Ekphrastic Series), Singapore Writers Festival (12 gigs) & more! Uncertainty lurks: 2021 is the last year of our grant cycle, our IPC status is up for renewal, the economy is wobbly and arts dollars are scarce. We're unsure what physical events can go on. But we'll keep stretching every cent to help writers grow & support the community through these turbulent times. Our plan: New youth events & growing BAW to new schools More prison & migrant writer programmes, with new mental health/writing workshops Expand poetry.sg with features & teaching resources; Our 4th bootcamp (poetry); more masterclasses; a new literary journal (!?) New editions of Sing/SEAPoWriMo & that's just what we can share! Share our story with your friends so we can keep the train going. Thank you!

Donate to The Invictus Fund and support social service agencies providing critical social services

by Community Chest

Caring for the vulnerable should never cease, especially in uncertain times. Singapore has united to care for the vulnerable individuals and families affected by COVID-19. Just as generous donations to The Courage Fund has allowed us to provide relief to frontline workers and families affected by COVID-19, our social service agencies (SSAs) also need support to enable them to continue to provide critical social services to vulnerable individuals, families and communities, in the face of this challenge. To do this, the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) has set up The Invictus Fund, which will channel public donations to SSAs that deliver critical services to vulnerable groups in our community. Where will your donations go? Donations will go towards enabling our SSAs to continue to provide critical social services. With your support, they can maintain operations, adopt technology and other business continuity initiatives to continue serving their users, and emerge stronger through this period. In addition to financial support, NCSS is also working closely the SSAs to help them with business continuity and integration of technology into their operations and service delivery, to ensure access to critical social services continue to be available, especially to those who need it. More details on The Invictus Fund will be made available soon. For further queries, please contact us at [email protected]

GIFT chronically ill children & their families HOPE to fight on

by JL KAH for Club Rainbow (Singapore)

Living with a chronic condition can be challenging for a child. In addition, there may be frequent hospital visits where the treatments and procedures can be frightening or painful. Parents, watching their child struggle physically and emotionally, can feel painful and helpless and, caring for a child with chronic illness can be draining - mentally, emotionally, physically as well as financially. Club Rainbow (Singapore) provides a comprehensive range of services in empowering and enabling children with chronic illnesses and their families through five core aspects, namely emotional support, educational support, social support, financial assistance and informational support. With your generous donation, chronically ill children and their families can receive free access to home & hospital counselling, befriender services, educational seminars and monthly food rations & essentials. The children can also attend tuition (at centre, hospital or home), therapy workshops, arts development and vocational development classes. Although their days ahead may be fraught with challenges, your kind support can certainly make the journey a little more bearable and the load on their shoulders, a little less heavy. Thank you so much for gifting chronically ill children and their families HOPE to fight on, and to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Project Belanja: Start A Food Chain of Good

by Blossom World Society

Lift someone's spirits today by treating them to a meal. 100 restaurants have come together for Project Belanja, a meal voucher programme to help the needy in our community. All you have to do is donate and our beneficiaries will receive a voucher that they can exchange for a good meal. Project Belanja is an initiative by Blossom World Society and the Restaurant Association of Singapore. Our recipients of the meal vouchers are "Daughters of Tomorrow", a charity that supports single mothers from low-income families to access livelihood opportunities. We are expecting more organisations to apply for their beneficiaries. Showing care and concern for another person can go a long way. We feel that one good way to lighten their load would be to treat them to a hearty meal. In the process, we also generate positive vibes with our community partners! Project Belanja will run till the end of the year.
