Under the SHARE As One (SAO) Grant, the Government will provide dollar-for-dollar matching for any additional donations from companies, employees, and individuals through SHARE over and above donation levels of the preceding year.

Qualifying for the Matching Grant for your CSR activities

When you encourage your employees to donate regularly through SHARE and there is an increase in the amount of SHARE donation, the Government will allow 50% of the matching grant (up to a cap of $10,000 a year) for your organisation to set up Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities for service users of a social service agency (SSA), and/or enhance your CSR capabilities within the business. The rest of the matching grant will go to a fund to be managed by Community Chest to benefit the social service sector.
