ONEfor10 is an initiative, by Community Chest, designed to create a connection between those who have the resources and abilities to give, and those who are vulnerable due to various disadvantages and difficulties in our community.

Community Chest was established in 1983 to raise funds for the numerous social service agencies in Singapore. As the philanthropy and engagement arm of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS), Community Chest raises funds for programmes that provide direct social support services and are relevant and critical to helping the disadvantaged.

With more than 35 years’ experience partnering Foundations, Corporations and Individuals to fundraise for about 100 social service agencies, Community Chest will be able to customise a giving plan to help realise your philanthropic goals.

As the operating costs are covered mainly by the Tote Board, 100% of your donation will go towards your designated social service agencies. ONEfor10 does not charge any fees.

You can choose from about 100 different social service agencies to support. They range from:

1. Children with Special Needs and Youth-At-Risk

2. Adults with Disabilities

3. Person with Mental Health Conditions

4. Vulnerable Seniors

5. Families in Need

ONEfor10 offers you different giving options. You can make an outright donation, monthly pledges, and bequest or set up an endowment fund. Please get in touch with us to find out more.

Your donations towards ONEfor10's supported social service agencies will be tax-deductible at the prevailing rate, which is currently 250%. It will be automatically reflected in your tax assessment based on the information you provide.

The accounts of the Council are audited by an auditor appointed annually by the Ministry of Social and Family Development, in consultation with the Auditor-General. The audited financial report will be presented to the Minister as well as the Parliament. NCSS also has an Audit Committee that is responsible for internal control, statutory audit, and financial reporting.

NCSS has a standards framework to measure the outcomes and impact of the programmes that are supported by Community Chest. This framework looks at:

1. Performance and Standards

2. Quality Assurance

3. Capability

Through government matching, from FY15 to FY21, regular giving will unlock a dollar-for-dollar matching. The matched amount from the government will be used to build the capability of the Community Chest supported social service agencies, creating a double impact through regular giving.
