The SIF is a non-profit organization established to develop communities outside Singapore through various programmes in three main thrusts: working with and improving the quality of life in overseas communities through sustainable development; exchanging ideas to inspire a better world; and showcasing Singapore with other communities. SIF programmes centre on 5 core areas, namely healthcare, education, the environment, arts and culture, and livelihood and business. SIF achieves these through collaborations with governments, corporate as well as local and international non-governmental organizations. SIF was presented the Excellence for Singapore Award, and has the President of the Republic of Singapore, His Excellency S R Nathan, as its Patron.
While the SIF organizes a wide range of philanthropic activities, its grantmaking focuses specifically on bringing made-in-Singapore arts to a wider foreign audience. |
