Donate today to enable us to support the next batch of promising small charities. Your donation will be matched dollar-to-dollar by Maybank Singapore.

The Maybank Momentum Grant is Singapore’s first recyclable grant to propel promising charities forward by investing in their transformation to build the right momentum to thrive. More about the fund: https://www.majurity.sg/funds-and-grants/momentum/

Post-pandemic recovery has been challenging for all businesses, and charities are struck especially hard. Charities, like businesses, require capital to invest in organisational growth. However, funding in the sector is primarily restricted towards programmes rather than manpower. In such environments, smaller charities struggle the most as they typically operate with lean in-house capabilities and small reserves. Their leaders face an uphill battle in the post-pandemic business environment of employee burnout, and donor and volunteer fatigue. The Maybank Momentum Grant is designed to provide flexible funding, so that smaller charities can invest in their teams, thereby extending their bandwidth to focus on long-term strategic plans.

To date, 17 promising small charities have begun their transformation journey. The grant allows them to build the capacity to better serve vulnerable communities and brighten up lives. These charities will pay-it-forward to enable other charities to grow in future.

One of the charities MMG supports is Limitless, a charity that provides counselling and therapy to youths who are struggling with mental health challenges. The MMG grant had helped to strengthen their organisation capacity to be able to meet the higher demand for services.

“The support from Maybank Momentum Grant helped us to accelerate our fundraising team’s growth and learnings. We now have a robust fundraising strategy that will help us better sustain the organisation and the work we do.” – Asher Low,  Executive Director,  Limitless
