COMPANY DESCRIPTION
Founded in 2011, Empact is a social enterprise with a social mission to build the capacity of social organisations in Singapore and the region. As a capacity builder to non-profits and social enterprises, we serve as an intermediary to our corporate partners where we match and manage their resources, expertise and skilled volunteers with the real needs in the social sector.
Much of the matching in most cases requires us to design and develop customised activities or programs for a meaningful exchange or partnership between corporates and social organisations. This is to ensure a win-win for both parties towards sustainable and effective social impact.
In the bigger scheme of our social mission, we bridge the capacity gap in the social sector with other stakeholders such as government agencies, grantmakers and volunteers to provide social organisations access to affordable (or pro bono) and professional services that are critical to their daily operations.
Over the past years, we have impacted more than 700 social organisations and channelled 8,000 volunteers to contribute to the growth of the social sector. In 2019, we were selected as a finalist for the Social Enterprise of Year by of the President Challenge. This is the highest accolade for social enterprises in Singapore.
