About the Enhanced Fundraising Programme
Since 2006, the Enhanced Fundraising Programme (EFR) has been instrumental in supporting Singapore's charity sector. Today, it supports approximately 500 organisations, enabling them to expand their reach and deepen their impact in our communities. Our partner charities serve diverse needs – from providing essential social services and healthcare support to enriching our society through arts, heritage, education and sports programmes.
