Singapore Airlines’ SG60 SIA Cares Raises $3 Million for Disability Support and Community Programmes
Singapore Airlines (SIA) has concluded its SG60 SIA Cares 2025 fundraising campaign, raising $3 million to benefit over 1,600 children and youth with disabilities and developmental needs in Singapore. The airline’s dollar-for-dollar match of $1.5 million in donations from corporate partners, the public, and staff brought the total to $3 million.
The Singapore Government’s SG Gives matching grant will double the impact further to $6 million, supporting AWWA, Rainbow Centre, and over 200 programmes under Community Chest.
AWWA will direct funds to enhance services for students with multiple disabilities and autism, while Rainbow Centre will improve its Special Education Programme across three campuses. Community Chest will allocate funds to a range of social needs, including support for persons with disabilities, mental health conditions, youth-at-risk, low-income families, and seniors.
Chew Sutat, Chairman, Community Chest, said: “Singapore Airlines has been a steadfast partner of Community Chest, and their sustainable philanthropy efforts exemplify how corporates can rally their networks in creative ways to give back to the community. They have not only rallied their partners, staff, and the public to raise these funds in need, but have also matched these contributions dollar for dollar.
These donations will go towards empowering over 1,600 children and youth with disabilities at AWWA and Rainbow Centre, as well as help fund over 200 critical social service programmes for persons with disabilities, mental health conditions, low-income families and the elderly through Community Chest. We encourage more businesses to partner with us in multi-year giving to uplift lives.”
Goh Choon Phong, Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Airlines, said: “We are grateful to our partners, the public, and our staff for their generosity, which helped us raise $1.5 million. With SIA’s dollar-for-dollar matching, the total donation doubles to $3 million. Leveraging the Singapore Government’s SG60 matching grant, the total impact reaches $6 million, supporting initiatives that transform lives, care for those in need, and strengthen communities.
“This effort reflects our long-standing commitment to Singapore’s social service agencies. The funds will enhance programmes at AWWA and Rainbow Centre, empowering young people with vital life skills and opportunities for greater independence and inclusion. Additionally, it will support Community Chest’s broader initiatives benefitting society at large.”
