About Us

The Singapore International Foundation (SIF) is a not-for-profit organisation established on
1 August 1991.

Our aim is to strengthen mutual understanding, ties and trust between global communities. All our programmes seek to bring Singaporeans and our friends from overseas communities together, to connect and collaborate for positive change.

We believe that when people from different parts of the world work together, they gain insights that bridge cultural divides and the sharing of ideas, skills and experiences inspires actions and enables collaborations for good. We do this because we believe we all can, and should, do our part to build a better world – one we envision as peaceful, inclusive and offers opportunities for all.

 

Our Vision

Making friends for a better world.

Our Mission

Through shared ideas, skills, and experiences, we uplift lives and create greater understanding between Singaporeans and world communities.

Core Values

Our three core values of Excellence, Collaborative and People-Centred represent what we believe should guide our internal conduct as well as our relationship with world communities.

Excellence
We give our best in all that we do and believe in being dynamic and innovative in creating value to further our mission and deliver on our promises.
Collaborative
We value relationships and harness the power of partnerships because we firmly believe we can achieve more together.
People-Centred
We are people-centred and supportive because our success is achieved through, for and by people.

Guiding Principles

All our programmes and initiatives follow these five guiding principles which were developed based on the Singapore International Foundation’s mission and core values.

We begin with the mission in mind
We harness the power of friendship fostered between Singaporeans and world communities through our programmes to enrich lives and effect positive change.
We are committed to building meaningful partnerships
We actively seek to partner individuals and institutions with similar interests to enhance the effectiveness of our programmes and advance common goals. We are results-oriented and responsibly deliver on our commitments to our stakeholders.
We treat others and ourselves with respect
We treat all people with dignity, honesty, and fairness always. We show respect by listening to and seeking to understand different points of views, being sensitive to cultural and religious diversity, and by working collaboratively with others to achieve common goals and a harmonious work culture.
We care for our people and are committed to helping them realise their potential
People are at the centre of what we do, and we succeed through our people. We are committed to providing our employees with a value proposition that brings out the best in them. We nurture our talents through continuous learning and professional development.
