SINGAPORE: The Community Chest celebrates 30 years of fundraising in 2013, and has raised the bar even higher -- it plans to raise S$85.9 million this financial year.
This is much higher than the S$72.3 million raised in 2012 and the S$55.7 million dollars raised in 2011.
However, ComChest is confident the target can be reached.
228 social service programmes will receive support this year, up from 219 in 2012. One of the new programmes being supported is the Experiential Learning and Mentoring Programme offered by Youth Guidance Outreach Services.
The money raised is expected to help some 300,000 beneficiaries.
Jennie Chua, chairman of the Community Chest, said: I have confidence we will reach the S$85 million target because throughout good times and bad times -- when the economy was less than robust, not only Singapore's economy, but the global economy -- Singaporeans have been very generous and forthcoming in giving money to the causes of the Community Chest."
