ABOUT THE SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION

The Singapore International Foundation (SIF) is a not-for-profit organisation established on 1 August 1991. Our aim is to strengthen mutual understanding, ties and trust between global communities. All our programmes seek to bring Singaporeans and our friends from overseas communities together, to connect and collaborate for positive change. We believe that when people from different parts of the world work together, they gain insights that bridge cultural divides and the sharing of ideas, skills and experiences inspires actions and enables collaborations for good. We do this because we believe we all can, and should, do our part to build a better world - one we envision as peaceful, inclusive and offers opportunities for all.

ABOUT YOUNG SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURS (YSE)

The Singapore International Foundation’s Young Social Entrepreneurs (YSE) programmes seek to inspire, equip, and enable youth of different nationalities to launch or scale up their social enterprises in Singapore and beyond. Since 2010, the YSE programmes have nurtured a global network of youth with innovative business ideas focused on social good, which has grown to over 1,400 alumni from 674 social enterprises, representing 43 nationalities. Together with established social entrepreneurs, business consultants, and investors, they harness the power of ideas, know-how, and resources to effect systemic, sustainable change for a better world. The YSE Global is a six-month programme comprising customised workshops, a four-month mentorship, regional learning opportunities, and Pitching for Change where teams can pitch for grant funding of up to S$20,000 each.
