Our Approach

Our Approach

ADVOCATE for social enterprises

We build awareness through regional and local events and competitions, bootcamps, workshops, learning forums, and collaborations with like-minded ecosystem partners. Read more about our past programmes and events to see how DBS Foundation champions businesses for good.

NURTURE to scale impact

Promising social enterprises at various stages of growth are supported through grant funding, customised programmes and mentorship to help them build capacity and expand market reach and gain access to a regional network of social enterprises through DBS Foundation.

INTEGRATE with DBS’ culture and operations

We work across DBS' six key markets to engage employees in solving challenges faced by social enterprises via skills-based volunteering, introduce procurement of social enterprise offerings, and are the first bank in Singapore to offer a Social Enterprise Banking Package.
