Building Partnerships That Make a Difference
What does a meaningful corporate partnership look like?
It starts with understanding what our community needs, what a company can bring to the table and how we can work together to create something that makes a lasting difference.
Corporate giving can take many forms. It could be financial support, employee volunteering, professional expertise, in-kind contributions or even a shared commitment to improving the lives of those in need.
We believe the strongest partnerships are built through conversations, collaboration and a shared understanding of what matters most to the community.
More Than Just Giving
Every organisation has something unique to offer.
Through co-creation, we work with our corporate partners to explore how their time, skills and resources can best support our beneficiaries and our work across our four homes.
During the month of Ramadan in 2023, Black Out Singapore extended its charity initiative to the residents at PERTAPIS Children’s Home.
The children had the opportunity to customise their own Black Out Singapore shoes, allowing them to express their creativity and create a pair that was uniquely their own.
Sometimes, meaningful support can also come in the form of resources that organisations are able to give a second life.
What may no longer be needed in one setting can still serve an important purpose elsewhere, especially when those resources can help meet the needs of the community.
One example of this is the support we received from Aramco Asia Singapore, which donated laptops and other IT equipment to PERTAPIS. These devices will support PERTAPIS in enhancing access to digital resources and connectivity for the communities under our care.
It is a simple but meaningful way for corporate resources to be put to continued use, while supporting the people and beneficiaries that PERTAPIS serves.
Partnerships with Purpose
As a Singapore charity with Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status, PERTAPIS understands the importance of accountability and responsible stewardship.
Our corporate partners entrust us with more than financial contributions. They entrust us with their time, resources and confidence in our work.
That is why we are committed to ensuring that every contribution is managed responsibly and directed towards meaningful outcomes.
Finding the Right Way to Get Involved
There are many ways for companies to partner with PERTAPIS, and it does not always have to start with a large commitment.
Companies can support our fundraising initiatives such as the “Upgrade Our Homes, Uplift Lives” campaign, to help us create safer, more comfortable spaces for those under our care. They may also provide in-kind support or explore longer-term partnerships centred around one of our homes.
