Meetings will not be required unless requested by Tote Board.

Though Tote Board would like to be acknowledged for its funding, funder recognition will not be a factor in our decision.

Tote Board does not have a pre-determined range for funding. We will consider several factors in determining the amount, including previous funding to projects of similar nature, project budget and community impact. Generally, Tote Board considers funding between 10% to 50% of a project's total budget.

It is generally not our practice to do so.

Although we prefer organisations with IPC status as it signals to Tote Board the level of official checks that beneficiaries subject themselves to, it is not a requirement.

No. Tote Board accepts and considers applications throughout the year. 

You should submit your application with all relevant information at least 6 months before the start date of your programme, to allow sufficient processing time. Tote Board would like to give due attention/respect to your proposal. If you do not fulfil this 6-month advance period, we may need to reject your application or to prorate the funding. There would be no provision for retrospective funding.

No, an application sent to the Board will suffice as the donation function lies solely with the Board. All requests which are sent to Singapore Pools and/ or Singapore Turf Club will be forwarded to the Board for its consideration.
