Community Chest Youth Day Appeal

Name of Organisation: Community Chest

Programme Type: Campaign

Programme Details:

As Singapore celebrates 60 years of progress, we look ahead to a future where every dream can take flight. Since its inception in 1984, the Youth Day Appeal has been a meaningful platform for students to embrace the spirit of giving and grow into compassionate, community-minded individuals. This year, as part of SG60, YDA continues to play an important role in rallying our youth to give back and shape a caring, inclusive society for generations to come.

Aligned with the Ministry of Education’s Values-in-Action Programme, this initiative nurtures empathy, respect, and the belief that everyone—especially those from communities in need—deserves the opportunity to thrive. In celebration of SG60, all donations to YDA 2025 will be matched through the SG Gives grant, amplifying students’ efforts and making each act of kindness go even further. While schools commemorate a meaningful Youth Day, they are also welcome to extend their fundraising period in conjunction with SG60 celebrations, contributing towards building a more caring and united Singapore.

Fundraising Modalities for Schools

Donation Envelopes: Schools may opt to schedule collections at a later date beyond August should they wish to extend their fundraising efforts in conjunction with the SG60 commemorations.
Customised PayNow QR Code: The customised QR code will remain valid until 31 December 2025, providing schools with the flexibility to continue their fundraising initiatives as part of the SG60 celebrations. Additionally, schools are welcome to channel donations raised from any self-led fundraising initiatives towards this meaningful cause, further amplifying the spirit of giving within their school communities.

Programme Runtime: Registrations will close on 30 May 2025. Schools that are keen to be part of this meaningful opportunity but may have missed the deadline are welcome to write in to NCSS_School@ncss.gov.sg.
