Others - ComCare Fund

About the ComCare Fund

The programmes under the ComCare Fund are administered by the CDCs with the help of grassroots organisations and voluntary welfare organisations.   

Low-income Singaporeans and their families can turn to the ComCare Fund, which is aimed at helping them tide over tough times and gain self-reliance over time with the help of community-level programmes.
 

Also known as the Community Care Endowment Fund, it was set up by the Government to help needy Singaporeans who face financial difficulties. This includes the elderly or persons with disabilities who are unable to afford certain services.
 

The introduction of the ComCare Fund will help educate needy Singaporeans on where they may seek support as well as assist in delivering help more efficiently and effectively.
 

It comprises three programmes, each covering a specific group:
1. ComCare SelfReliance focuses on helping the needy achieve self-reliance
2. ComCare Grow aims to help children from needy families break out of the poverty cycle by focusing on their developmental needs
3. ComCare EnAble helps the needy who require long-term assistance (such as the needy elderly and persons with disabilities) integrate into the community
