What we do
raiSE was set up in 2015 to develop the Social Enterprise sector in Singapore through a cross-sector collaboration between the Ministry of Social and Family Development, National Council of Social Service, Social Enterprise Association and Tote Board. raiSE was officially launched by Dr Tony Tan Keng Yam, former President of the Republic of Singapore on 27 May 2015.
Why we do
As an ecosystem builder, we seed and nurture new social enterprises by providing advisory services, programmes, training, and resources. We enable existing social enterprises to grow and become sustainable by providing financing options, capacity building and mentorship.
raiSE seeks to connect with social enterprises and intermediary bodies in the region and share best practices with each other.
As there is a global shift in mindsets from a commitment to shareholders to a focus on stakeholders instead, therefore raiSE advocates for corporations to explore new and innovative ways to contribute to the development of the social enterprise sector. SMEs and MNCs in Singapore who are looking for more sustainable ways of corporate social responsibility can opt to make social enterprise a big part of their ESG goals and sustainability reporting plans.
How we do
- Something for every Social Entrepreneur and Enterprise
- Grow with funding support from raiSE
- Bringing SEs together through events and networks
