Daughters of Tomorrow - https://daughtersoftomorrow.org

Registered as a charity under the Charities Act of Singapore, Daughters Of Tomorrow complements and supports existing training and workforce-related agencies by connecting volunteers and community resources to enable each woman on an individual level. By deep-diving into the practical day-to-day constraints of these women, we offer hand-holding and individual coaching to help each woman reach regular and sustained employment. Our beneficiaries are women aged 20 to 60 from low-income families (surviving on $200 to $500 per capita per month), mostly living in government-subsidized rental flats, and facing multiple stressors in their families. Since our incorporation in August 2014, we have impacted more than 1100 women* through our skills-training, job-bridging, and support programmes. Through sustained employment, women in our employment bridging program regain confidence in themselves and gain a social support network that helps them through their difficult times.

ISCOS the business end of the Yellow Ribbon project here in Singapore - www.iscos.org.sg

Since 1989, the Industrial and Services Co-operative Society Limited (ISCOS) has been extending friendship and support to its members (ex-offenders) and their families so that they can lead meaningful and productive lives. Under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs, ISCOS is the only co-operative in Singapore that actively engages the community to help ex-offenders gain a foothold in society. ISCOS is proud to be one of the founding members of the Community Action for the Rehabilitation of Ex-Offenders (CARE) Network which organises the annual Yellow Ribbon Project. The ISCOS ReGen Fund (IRF), is a registered charity that provides holistic and empathetic support to reformed offenders, their children and families to prevent intergenerational offending.

NCIS / NUHS Cancer Fund - www.ncis.com.sg

The NCIS Cancer Fund provides financial assistance to more than 100 needy cancer patients annually. Cancer treatments are costly and the NCIS Cancer Fund makes it possible to support needy cancer patients who require critical treatment but unfortunately still fall through the cracks of the existing society's safety nets. We provide funding for needy cancer patients, cancer research and the education and training of healthcare professionals.
