Our Vision

Creating impact beyond banking, beyond borders and beyond generations by uplifting the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities in Asia.

Our Mission

Enabling those in need to cope with life’s uncertainties so that they can be more socially and financially resilient, by making their every-day better and every tomorrow brighter.

Our Purpose In Action

Building forward,
not just giving back

Fuelling targeted interventions,
not just funding programmes

Catalysing systemic, sustainable, scalable change,
not just supporting causes

To mark DBS Foundation's 10th anniversary in 2024, DBS pledged up to SGD 1 billion and 1.5 million employee volunteering hours over the next ten years to deepen support for our work in uplifting vulnerable communities. By continuing to harness the bank's network, expertise and collective strength of 40,000 employees, we help these communities build forward with resilience and dignity.

We've been early supporters of businesses for impact across the region, helping them to scale and create meaningful change through holistic support including grants, awards, mentorship, network and market access.

We also work alongside governments, community organisations and businesses for impact to co-create and implement interventions that address real and emerging needs on the ground.
