About ONEfor10
ONEfor10 is an initiative designed to create a connection between those who have the resources and abilities to give, and individuals in need of support.
Why ONEfor10
As your gateway to about 100 social service agencies, partnering us to fulfil your philanthropic ambitions enables you to tap on our specialised knowledge of the social service sector – in areas such as children with special needs and youth-at-risk, adults with disabilities, families and seniors in need of support, and persons with mental health conditions.
We are committed to helping you identify your philanthropic needs and create a customised giving plan. We can even tailor volunteering opportunities for you.
Alternatively, you can invest in and/or pilot
new projects to solve emerging social problems.
There will also be opportunities for you to gain insights and fulfilling giving experiences through exclusive networking lunches and round-table sessions with philanthropists and thought leaders.
Ultimately, our aim is for your gift to achieve maximum impact while echoing your personal values and aspirations.
So if you're ready, get started today so you can impact the lives of your service users - like Noraidil and Wendy - and give them a brighter future to look forward to.

The accounts of the Council are audited by an auditor appointed annually by the Ministry of Social and Family Development, in consultation with the Auditor-General. The audited financial report will be presented to the Minister as well as the Parliament. NCSS also has an Audit Committee that is responsible for internal control, statutory audit, and financial reporting.
NCSS has a standards framework to measure the outcomes and impact of the programmes that are supported by Community Chest. This framework looks at:
