Legacy Giving
In a world filled with uncertainties, one thing remains certain, everyone has the power to create a lasting legacy that uplifts the communities in need.
This Legacy Giving guide will help you navigate the complex landscape of estate planning and enable you to make a profound difference in the lives of future generations, and the causes that are close to your heart.
Join hands with the Community Chest, where personalised guidance meets philanthropic aspirations, and together, we can identify causes and put in place a legacy that resonates with your heart and values.
Your generous contribution will provide essential support to address the urgent needs of the social service sector, including children with special needs and youth-at-risk, adults with disabilities, persons with mental health conditions and seniors and families in need of support.
Weaving Charitable Giving into Estate/Succession planning: A meaningful way to contribute and make a difference is by including a gift to support a cause you hold dear, ensuring that your values live on through your legacy.
- Deep Understanding of Landscape: Guided by sector trends, needs and gaps based on evidence-based research and analysis.
- Measurable Outcomes: Tracking programme outcomes to ensure that service users’ needs are met.
- Efficient and Impactful Fund Allocation: Funds allocated based on criteria guided by the need to fill service gaps, sustain existing critical services, and support innovative services.
- Ensuring Sustainability: 100% of contributions are channelled to over 200 critical social service programmes supporting over 93,000 service users each year. Your legacy donation will provide stable funding for initiatives to meet current and future challenges.
Your legacy gift will go to supporting over 200 critical social service programmes uplifting service users like Lucas, Emilia and Mdm Thilagarani.
