The Giving Economy Forum solidified Singapore's position as a global leader in philanthropy and a gateway to global alliances for social impact.
A Hub for Digital Innovation in Social Impact:
Recognizing Singapore's burgeoning strength in technology and innovation, the Forum explored how to leverage these assets to create a dynamic digital ecosystem for social impact initiatives. This focus on digital solutions, was echoed during the panel discussion championed by speakers involved at the governance level. Singapore has the potential to become a pioneer in the philanthropic landscape, paving the way for sustainable and scalable solutions to pressing regional challenges.
Financial Inclusion2 Takes Center Stage:
A central theme of the Forum was financial inclusion, particularly within Southeast Asia. The introduction of the FIDES grant, designed to empower micro and small institutions with digital transformation tools, signifies a crucial step towards fostering economic equality and empowering marginalized communities. Leaders like His Excellency Ambassador Mr. K. Kesavapany emphasized this commitment, ensuring financial access becomes a reality for individuals and communities across the region.
Celebrating Changemakers and Igniting Inspiration:
The 6th Giving Economy Forum was more than a discussion of solutions; it was a celebration of those who are making a difference. It featured a captivating panel discussion on how Singapore can strengthen South-to-South partnerships, foster a digital culture, and harness AI for social impact. Notable panelists included Mr. Lim Soon Ying, Founder of Digital Philanthropy, Ms. Audrey Ong, Board Member of Singapore Gymnastics, and Ms. May Ann Lim, Director, Fair Tech Institute, Access Partnership.
The prestigious Giving Economy Awards1 recognized outstanding individuals and organizations from Southeast Asia, including Professor Jack Sim's LifeTime Excellence Award for his groundbreaking work in “Sanitation for All”, Mr. Denison Jayasooria for setting up an All Party Parliamentary Group in Malaysia for localizing UNSDGs with over 300 solution enabling organizations, and Mr. Jayesh Parekh and Mr. Patrick Liew for their continued philanthropic endeavors. Their inspiring stories and unwavering dedication served as a powerful call to action for the entire philanthropic community.
Singapore: A Gateway to Global Impact:
The Forum's success transcended borders, solidifying Singapore's position as a gateway to global alliances and a driving force in shaping the future of philanthropic fundraising. By infusing the Giving Economy concept into its core, Singapore, with the support of individuals like Dr. Rajan Samuel, MD/CEO Crowdera Foundation, and Chet Jainn, Founder/Chairman Crowdera Group & Giving Economy Forum, are forging a path towards a future where effective and sustainable solutions are accessible to all.
