GIVING BACK

 
i-SHINE GIVES
 
i-SHINE Gives is about the value and joy of giving to the community. It is about individual Singapore Pools staff reaching out, lending a helping hand to and raising funds for the less fortunate members of our community. It is about our emotional connection to good causes. In short, i-SHINE Gives is about creating a "Family of Hearts" - living the community-engagement culture and spirit of philanthropy.

Through i-SHINE Gives, all employees in Singapore Pools also make a monthly contribution from their salary that directly benefit the programmes to care for the less fortunate. Singapore Pools receives the SHARE Corporate Platinum Award every year in recognition of our participation and unwavering support for the Community Chest’s SHARE programme.
