由来
  • 公益金由余炳亮博士于1983年成立，当时归属于新加坡社会服务理事会 (Singapore Council of Social Service，即现在的国家福利理事会)。余炳亮博士是一位热心致力于慈善事业的商人，被尊称为“慈善之父”。
  • 公益金成立的宗旨是筹集资金，鼓励社区参与，为有需要的人提供服务。公益金与个人、私人及公共领域建立强大的伙伴关系，形成具有影响力的社会服务生态体系。
  • 1992年，新加坡社会服务理事会改组为国家福利理事会，由卢珠吉医生担任主席，公益金主席一职则由余经文博士担任。
  • 公益金主通过各种活动和项目募款，如“SGSHARE”。“SGSHARE”为一项国家定期捐赠计划，能够为关键的社会服务事项提供可靠、可持续的资助，是构建新加坡社会契约的重要组成部分。
  • 如今，公益金已成为新加坡的主要募捐方，为有需求的社群提供援助。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Community Chest was founded by Dr Ee Peng Liang in 1983 under the then Singapore Council of Social Service. Dr Ee was a businessman and philanthropist who was known as the “Father of Charity”.
  • The Community Chest was established to raise funds, encourage community participation, and provide services to those in need. It has established strong partnerships with individuals, and across the private and public sectors, to build an impactful social service ecosystem.
  • In 1992, the Singapore Council of Social Service (SCSS) was restructured to form the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). Dr Ee handed over his position as Chairman of the Community Chest to Dr Richard Eu and his position as President of NCSS to Dr Robert C.K. Loh.
  • The Community Chest raises funds through various programmes and initiatives, such as SGSHARE, a national regular giving programme that provides a reliable and sustained source of funds to support critical social service programmes requiring assistance.
  • Currently, Community Chest is the key fundraiser in Singapore to empower the communities in need.
