Start A Fundraiser

Fundraise for Habitat Singapore

A major part of supporting Habitat includes fundraising to keep our work going. All fundraising efforts are directed to Habitat Singapore's general fund to support our local volunteering programmes, unless otherwise stated. Contributions are pooled together with gifts from other donors and distributed to meet the most urgent needs on the ground.

Fundraising efforts can also be directed towards subsiding the cost of your own Global Village trip or support a team that is going for a trip.

There are many ways to go about fundraising, and it can be done online or offline, or a combination of both. If you're not sure where to start, we've curated a list of fundraising ideas that have been carried out by previous supporters to help you get started!

9 Ways To Put The 'Fun' in Fundraising

Crowdfund

Set up your Give.Asia campaign page as a shareable & transparent way to collect donations from your circle of friends & family.

Be Sporty

Leverage on high-profile sports events: run, swim, cycle, climb, trek in the name of families who need decent housing.

Lend a Hand

Exchange chores for a small fee when you help to babysit, walk a friend's dog or water their plants when they're away.

Get Crafty

Donate the proceeds from the sale of your lovingly hand-made jewelry, paintings, prints or other crafty items in support of Habitat's mission.

Party On

Organise house parties or dinner events where guests donate an "entry fee", all for a good cause.

Carou-sell

Your old loves don't have to go to waste. Earn back some cash from a garage sale or Carousell deal as a way to fundraise.

Adopt Us

Get your school, company or place of worship to adopt us as your partner charity.

Auctions

Rope in art galleries, designer boutiques & jewelry merchants to organise charity auction nights in support of Habitat's work.

Bake Sale

Let your friends & family indulge in their favourite homemade sweet treat guilt-free, because it'll be for a family in need of a hand up.

Meet Our Supporter Role Models

Thomas Lim, HomeWorks Champion

Thomas has been a HomeWorks Champion for the last 4 years, serving in at least 1 HomeWorks session every month.

"I’ve been doing this volunteer work for the past 4.5 years. I have done more than 40 units and there’s a lot more to go. The reason why I keep up with this volunteer work is I’ve done a lot of volunteering work before but I definitely see this as (having) a much greater impact. And every homeowner deserves a decent home and most importantly, a hygienic place to live in."

Sharon Cheah, Global Village Team Leader

With 8 build experiences under her belt - half of which she led as team leader - Sharon has been one of Habitat Singapore's most active Global Village supporter.

"As a team leader, I have more freedom to go to countries I wanted to build in and work around my own schedule. Rather than waiting for the rare open teams to open up, it was easier to just get things started instead! It's been such a joy to see different team members come and work together for a common good."

Jessica Khoo, Carousell Fundraiser

Jessica's journey with Habitat Singapore started when she first joined as a Global Village and Project HomeWorks volunteer. Since May 2018, she has raised $550 from her Carousell sales in support of Habitat's work.

"[V]olunteering provides me with the opportunity to meet people and make new friends and at the same time giving back to the community in a meaningful way. By meaningful, I mean doing more than just cutting cheques to charities. I am thankful to be able to contribute and make a difference in the lives of the many families, children and elderly that I’ve come into contact with through the years."
