Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise, raiSE
As an ecosystem builder, raiSE seed and nurture new social enterprises by providing advisory services, programmes, training, and resources. They enable existing social enterprises to grow and become sustainable by providing financing options, capacity building and mentorship.
raiSE seeks to connect with social enterprises and intermediary bodies in the region and share best practices with each other.
As there is a global shift in mindsets from a commitment to shareholders to a focus on stakeholders instead, therefore raiSE advocates for corporations to explore new and innovative ways to contribute to the development of the social enterprise sector. SMEs and MNCs in Singapore who are looking for more sustainable ways of corporate social responsibility can opt to make social enterprise a big part of their ESG goals and sustainability reporting plans.
