VolunteerInc. - SBF Foundation

Uplifting Communities Through Corporate Volunteering

Established through a strategic collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY), and enabled by the SBF Foundation (SBFF), VolunteerInc. supports businesses at different stages of their volunteering journey.

VolunteerInc. helps businesses integrate volunteerism into their corporate purpose, aligning business priorities with social good. By fostering partnerships between companies and community organisations, VolunteerInc. uplifts vulnerable communities, builds trust, and strengthens Singapore's social compact. The programme enables employees to contribute to a more inclusive society while enhancing business reputation, attracting talent, and developing leadership and teamwork skills. In turn, businesses and communities benefit from a shared sense of responsibility and purpose.
