SBF Foundation

About SBF Foundation

The SBF Foundation was established in 2013 by the Singapore Business Federation (SBF). As the social impact arm of SBF, the Foundation champions business-led efforts that strengthen Singapore’s social compact by uplifting lives, supporting inclusive employment, and empowering communities in need.

We believe businesses have a vital role to play in building a more inclusive and resilient society. Through strategic programmes and partnerships, we help companies embed social purpose into their operations—turning intent into action, and action into impact. Beyond rallying businesses to support employees in need and promoting equal access to employment, SBF Foundation also connects companies to charities aligned with their values—enabling them to champion causes close to their hearts, across areas such as the Arts, Education, Environment, Health, Sports, Youth, and others.
Mobilising Businesses for Social Good

The SBF Foundation works closely with the Social Sustainability Division (SSD) to co-drive the Social Impact Action Agenda, in support of national priorities including community development, employability, and corporate giving. Together, we offer businesses a structured and scalable way to contribute meaningfully to society—whether they are new to social impact or ready to deepen their efforts.

We offer a suite of programmes that are designed to enable companies to make a tangible difference:

  • EmployWell

    Supports the employability of individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds by encouraging inclusive hiring and helping employers build supportive workplaces.

  • In Their Shoes

    An immersive, empathy-building experience that allows corporate leaders to better understand the everyday challenges faced by vulnerable communities.

  • Youth Connections

    Business leaders connect with young individuals, including youth-at-risk, helping them expand their networks, career opportunities and confidence through three simple steps – speed matching, a meal, and an office visit. 

  • The Corporate Purpose Initiative

    The Corporate Purpose Initiative (TCPI) seeks to empower businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises, to align their ESG or Environmental, Social, and Governance goals with impactful social programmes. As a collective, TCPI’s strategic donors and partners support programmes that address systemic social challenges and foster a culture of care and sustainability within Singapore’s business community.

  • Community Marketplace

    A platform that connects businesses with community partners aligned to their values to spark meaningful collaborations—making it easier to start or scale sustained corporate social impact.

  • MigrantWell

    Addresses care gaps in dental, psychological care, and physiotherapy services for migrant workers, in collaboration with key medical and community partners, and funded by corporates.
