Senior Manager/Manager/Assistant Manager (Community Grants Governance)

Community grants support projects/initiatives that aim to develop an active citizenry with a shared responsibility to care for and uplift others and include localised grants at the municipal level. By leveraging the arts, culture and sports, among others, such projects/initiatives enable Singaporeans to (i) mix and build bonds with others from different backgrounds or communities; (ii) pursue their diverse aspirations; and/or (iii) give back to society, such as through volunteerism and giving.
