What is Sayang Sayang Fund?
Managing the impact of COVID-19 with the power of giving
The Sayang Sayang Fund is established as an agile community response fund.ย
Backed by CFSโs deep understanding of community needs and strong relationships with charities and government agencies, we quickly formed strategic partnerships to deliver financial support to the affected communities in the fastest and most effective way during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CommunityGrants @Work
Grant Call is now open
CommunityGrants@Work aims to support local charities and non-profits with programme ideas that create sustainable and long-term solutions for marginalised communities to emerge stronger from the pandemic.
Organisations whose ideas align with its objectives can come forward to apply.ย The initiative will be focusing on supporting two key areas โ piloting new opportunities and the ability to adjust and adapt.
The Sayang Sayang Fund Story
Continue to Sayang Sayang!
Sayang Sayang Fund is introducing new initiatives. These initiatives will provide continued support to vulnerable groups impacted by COVID-19 – within the Bukit Merah community, for ground-ups, and the community health sector in Singapore.
Your outstanding donations of over $9.7 million for Sayang Sayang Fund were really heart-warming and we supported over 401,000 beneficiaries. Thank you for your Sayang Sayang!
Letโs continue to cheer on our essential workers as they soldier on for us.

A truly special Valentineโs Day for CFS! Surrounded by our beloved community of donors, grantees, partners, and Minister of State @alvinshtan, we marked our 15th Anniversary with a celebratory luncheon at Paradox Singapore Merchant Court.
โ โ โ โ โ โ
โจ The event was the perfect opportunity to present the Sayang Sayang Fund (SSF) Report, which contains highlights of our largest and most far-reaching community impact fund to date.
โ โ โ โ โ โ
The Sayang Sayang Fund was an emergency fund, launched in 2020 to help those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Over three years, it raised $9.7 million and supported over 401,000 people. We could not have done it without our network of charities, agencies and partners. Find the report in the link in our bio.
โจAs our Chairperson Christine Ong said in her opening remarks, the event was a celebration of the power of community. From learning about the work of our grantees @itespore, @carecornersg and @thetengcompany, to being mesmerised by performances from the talented young scholars from The TENG Company, every moment was a reminder of the beauty of the transformative power of collective giving.
๐ฑ Looking ahead, we are excited about our participation in Forward SG. Follow us to keep updated with more details!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has been part of this journey. Your support fuels us. Here`s to more years of building communities that care and thrive! ๐๐
