“Be an intentional giver,” says Chua Weiling, CEO of One Hill Capital and a supporter of the Onefor10 initiative. “Consider the purpose and what you want to achieve with your giving.” A member of the Chua Foundation, her philanthropic journey was influenced by her grandmother, who shaped her values and taught her that a little can go a long way in creating a lasting impact on others.

Greater Impact

Donors can also look forward to amplifying impact through exclusive networking lunches and round‑table discussions with like-minded philanthropists and thought leaders organised by Community Chest. Additionally, your full donation will go towards your designated social service agencies and their social service users without any processing or service fees from Community Chest. Donors will also be entitled to 250 per cent tax deductions on all donations.

Each of us can make a difference in the lives of others, even if we may not have surpluses to donate, believes Kelly Keak, managing director of MTM Skincare Singapore. The philanthropist and supporter of the Onefor10 initiative says: “I believe that if we can make just one small change, even something as small as being kind to one other person, our children will see, learn and follow suit.”
