DBS Foundation’s flagship grant programme is now open for applications!

Since 2014, DBS Foundation has been supporting social enterprises (SEs) grow their businesses and create positive impact. With our grant funding and access to the bank’s resources, which include skills- and capacity-building, networking and business opportunities, many SEs have deepened their social and environmental impact.

Recognising that small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are crucial engines of growth in many economies, we are extending our DBS Foundation Grant Programme to help SMEs transform their existing businesses into sustainable and inclusive models to drive impact.
