Call for Proposals

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:

  1. Digital Technology and Inclusion – Helping various societal groups appreciate how digital technologies enrich daily living. For example:
    • Projects that support self-driven learning of digital abilities such as communicating, making transactions, and searching for information online, and that are designed for specifically for low-income families or groups who may only understand vernacular languages.
    • Projects that empower those who may have been too busy with caregiving or other familial obligations to keep up with technological advancements.
  2. Digital Literacy and Wellness – Improving digital literacy amongst disadvantaged groups and promote good digital habits for online safety. For example: 
    • Projects that help parents understand the digital landscape, online trends and threats, and useful practices including those that help keep children safe online.
    • Projects that educate youths on the dangers of engaging perpetrators of online sexual grooming, cyberbullying, online harassment, and false information dissemination; and the appropriate responses for such situations.
