Singapore is rolling out a mentoring pilot designed to strengthen leadership capabilities across the charity sector. The programme will match experienced mentors with senior figures in non-profit organisations, including board members, human resources leads and chief executives.
The initiative aims to build institutional knowledge and professional development within charitable organisations, providing structured guidance to leaders navigating operational and strategic challenges. By pairing mentors with key decision-makers, the scheme seeks to enhance governance standards and operational excellence across the sector.
The mentoring pilot forms part of broader efforts to support Singapore's charity ecosystem. Simultaneously, authorities are conducting a comprehensive review of the Charities Act, the primary legislation governing charitable organisations in the city-state. The review process reflects ongoing efforts to ensure the regulatory framework remains fit for purpose and responsive to sector needs.
The combined initiatives signal the government's commitment to professionalising charity leadership while modernising the legal and regulatory environment. More details on programme participation and timelines are expected to follow as the mentoring pilot develops.
