The Singapore Children’s Society raised a record $5.89 million through two fund-raising initiatives last year.
In 2014, this figure was $3.275 million.
The fund-raising efforts of 1,639 companies and individuals were recognised at the 1000 Enterprises and 1000 Philanthropists for Children-in-Need Appreciation Dinner held last night.
The guest-of-honour was Mr Teo Chee Hean, Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for National Security, who is the patron for the two fund-raising drives.
One programme encourages individuals to contribute $1,000 a year to the society.
