The Pinnacle Of Giving Excellence

12 winners were awarded in the President’s Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards 2023, held at the Istana on 17th October 2023.

The President’s Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards is the pinnacle award and platform to recognise individuals and groups that have achieved excellence in giving. These awards represent the highest honour for giving in the community and are conferred by the President of the Republic of Singapore.

Since PVPA’s inception in 2001, its objectives have always remained to:

Honour and celebrate those who have set benchmarks of excellence in encouraging the spirit of giving in Singapore

Create awareness and increase mindshare to inspire others to bring about a higher level of giving in Singapore

Galvanise and catalyse winners to further their giving journey, so they become multipliers and community champions

What's Unique About PVPA

Inclusive

PVPA awards are cause- and sector-agnostic and are open to those who have contributed to any cause whether it is the arts, sports, heritage, animal welfare, or even giving via informal means.

Diverse

Our awards have a broad focus, recognising givers across life stages (from students to seniors) and different organisational types, from small and mid-sized enterprises, large enterprises, to non-profits.

Recognising partnerships

Building a City of Good is not the job of one, but the duty of many. Our awards have always honoured individuals and organisations that have galvanised others to do good with them. The refreshed awards will further celebrate the importance of partnerships, by putting a spotlight on impactful cross-sector collaborations.
