raiSE 10th Year Anniversary

8 January 2026 - raiSE’s 10th anniversary celebration was an evening of deep reflection, gratitude, and collective pride, marking a significant milestone in the growth of Singapore’s social enterprise ecosystem. Graced by President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and Minister Masagos Zulkifli, the event brought together over 600 guests from the public sector, corporates, social service agencies, and raiSE Social Enterprise members. The evening honoured a decade of purposeful work in building a more inclusive and resilient society through enterprises that place social impact at the heart of their business models.

A key highlight of the celebration was the immersive social enterprise showcase themed “A Nation, Heart at Work.” Featuring 82 raiSE Social Enterprises, the showcase brought to life the role of social enterprises in nation-building through real products and services addressing key national priorities. Organised into five thematic zones, it demonstrated how social innovation, inclusivity, and technology can be leveraged to strengthen communities, support social service agencies, foster social mobility, and create meaningful employment opportunities - reinforcing the idea that social impact is not a cost, but a powerful value creator.

"Art For Good" Team

Art for Good was humbled and grateful to be one of the emerging social enterprises featured in the showcase. Being part of this platform was both affirming and inspiring, as we stood alongside fellow social enterprises who are deeply committed to creating positive change through their work. As a growing social enterprise, this experience reaffirmed our belief in the transformative power of art as a tool for healing, connection, and social good within the community.

We were truly happy to be part of this meaningful milestone and celebration of the ecosystem. Looking ahead, Art for Good remains committed to deepening our practice, strengthening partnerships, and doing more to create sustained and meaningful social impact. As the social enterprise sector in Singapore continues to evolve, we strive to contribute thoughtfully and responsibly, journeying together with like-minded organisations to build a more inclusive and compassionate society.
