Over 200 in S’pore apply to new $50 million fund to support community initiatives

Two local men, Ben Ang and Ismail Didih Ibrahim, founded Fellowship of Men Singapore to support men facing issues with violence and aggression through community programs. They transitioned from their full-time roles to launch this non-profit, focusing on prevention and emotional support. Their initiative became one of 200 projects applying for grants under Singapore's new $50 million SG Partnerships Fund, aimed at supporting grassroots community efforts. Launched in April 2023 by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, the fund includes three tiers—seed, sprout, and scale—with varying grant amounts. The seed tier, offering up to $5,000, proved most popular among applicants. The fund aims to empower citizens to develop community-based solutions, with support from the Singapore Government Partnerships Office (SGPO), including networking and financial oversight.
