"Kidpreneurs Give Back"
As part of our Bazaar's mission, we would be encouraging our Kidpreneurs & Mumpreneurs to 'give back'.
​
In support of President’s Challenge (Charity), all stalls are encouraged to donate a percentage of their profits to President's Challenge who will be present at the bazaar.
​
In addition, come by the Bazaar to learn how you can support the less fortunate through some of the meaningful activities run by NCSS.
On 22nd June: Singapore Red Cross, a President’s Challenge beneficiary will run an activity to create awareness of the work done by the Red Cross.
On 23rd June: President’s Challenge. Besides some awareness of what President’s Challenge is about, we will run an activity to teach people how to spell out their name using sign language.
​
The President’s Challenge is an annual community outreach and fund-raising campaign for beneficiaries selected every year by the President’s Office. Initiated by former President S R Nathan in 2000, the Challenge represents a coming together of people from all walks of life, under the President’s patronage, to help those who are less fortunate, and is a call to all Singaporeans to do their part to build a more caring and inclusive society. 100% of donations raised under President’s Challenge go to charities, causes and social service organisations supported by President’s Challenge.
In 2012, under the leadership of President Tony Tan Keng Yam, the Challenge was expanded to go beyond fund-raising, by including volunteerism and social entrepreneurship. In 2014, President Tan also launched the Silver Volunteer Fund to encourage senior volunteerism. President's Challenge will continue to rally the community to help the less fortunate among us through the giving of time, skills and enterprise.
​
The operating costs of President’s Challenge are covered separately by a grant from Singapore Totalisator Board as a community initiative. The overall operating cost to donation ratio for President’s Challenge is also kept under 15%, well within 30% fund-raising efficiency ratio recommended by the Charity Council.
