Singapore grows as a hub to further the ‘pact’ in impact

The most pressing challenges of our time are too complex and interconnected to be tackled by single actors. Investment for impact demands collaboration

    • A collaborative model in philanthropy is akin to investment syndicates in venture capital, where families co-invest in causes. One family can bring capital, another brings insight and a third, networks or influence.

    IN TODAY’S rapidly changing world, wealth is no longer just a measure of success. It is also a tool for significance. Among ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, there has been a marked shift from preserving capital to deploying it with purpose.

    But purpose-driven philanthropy cannot thrive in isolation. The most pressing challenges of our time – such as climate change, inequality, public health – are too complex, too interconnected, to be addressed by single actors working alone. Sustained impact demands a collaborative approach – a pact for impact.

    This is more than a mindset, it is a movement. Singapore, with its sophisticated financial infrastructure and expanding ecosystem for social good, is emerging as a hub for this kind of coordinated, cross-border giving.
