About The Inclusive Fund
Started in July 2021, The Inclusive Fund (TIF) is set up to provide interim/transitional support and bridge existing service gaps through supporting *transnational families, who do not receive sufficient formal forms of support/assistance due to eligibility issues, in hope to promote equity and social inclusion which focuses more on the needs of the children. TIF is NOT a financial assistance scheme but an advocacy effort to look for longer-term solutions to mitigate system barriers and supporting the transnational families to be self-sustaining.
Transnational lower income families with children and young persons under the families’ care, and
with at least one family member in the household who is a Singaporean Citizen/Permanent Resident
(PR) (TIF is open to looking at families with exceptional needs that fall out of this criterion), may apply
to be supported by the funds. The needs of the families are assessed in the following priority:
(i) Immediate needs: Children’s education and health related matters as priority
(ii) Mid-term needs: Employment, income generation, legal support, and other arising related concerns.
(iii) Long term needs: Advocacy and supporting families to be self-sustaining.
