About
Are you looking to drive community initiatives to address the digital needs of Singaporeans? The Digital for Life Fund provides funding for digital inclusion projects and activities that help all Singaporeans embrace digital and enrich lives. Projects should focus on the following pillars of the Digital for Life movement:
- Digital Technology and Inclusion – building digital resilience and exciting different segments of society on how new digital technologies can enrich their daily lives. For example:
- Intergenerational learning journeys or gamified activities between youth and seniors to learn digital skills or excite them about new technologies
- Digital apps or tools to benefit the daily lives of people with disabilities or the less digitally savvy
- Digital Literacy and Wellness – promoting good digital habits as society engages in the digital domain, including the areas of cyber safety, media literacy and mitigating the risks of online harms. For example:
- Campaigns or social experiments to raise awareness on online grooming, cyber-bullying, doxing, cancel culture or false online information
- Toolkits for parents on how to talk to their children about gaming addiction or resources for youths on how to handle inappropriate online contact or harassment
