Funding Principles & Strategic Outcomes

Funding Principles

Tote Board considers projects based on their individual merits and the general guidelines below:

We Will Support:

  1. Project(s) that deliver upstream solutions for the benefit of a significant portion of the community.
  2. Innovative and collaborative efforts that address specific goals or objectives.
  3. Sustainable strategic partnerships with organisations that are pioneers in their fields of work and have a national focus.
  4. Projects that fulfil one or more of our desired strategic outcomes.

We WILL NOT Support:

  1. Project(s) that benefit only an individual.
  2. Religious activities for the promotion of a certain religion.
  3. Political activities for the promotion of a certain political ideology or party.
  4. Commercial project(s) for the purpose of profit-making.
  5. Debt / loan repayment.
  6. Payment for services of professional fund-raisers and canvassers.
    ​

Strategic Outcomes

Projects applied directly to us should have well-defined and specific outcomes. Such projects can be a one-time or multi-year commitment. These projects shall fulfill one or more of these high-level strategic outcomes:

1. Equitable Opportunities for Vulnerable Groups
2. Resilient Community
3. Enhanced Quality of Life

These strategic outcomes help Tote Board to identify and curate programmes it wants to fund; and understand the impact brought about by the programmes. With an increasingly complex social landscape, we will continue to engage our partners and stakeholders proactively to identify and support strategic initiatives one or more of the outcomes.

Overall, we continue to have interest in seeking out new and improved funding approaches, with a greater customer-centric focus and emphasis on outcome and impact measurement.
