Temasek, partners launch first-stop resource platform

The initiative aims to empower Singapore's groundup movement.

Temasek Foundation, the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC) and Tote Board have launched the BAGUS (Building All Groundups for Success) Together” initiative.

The initiative will offer a first-stop platform and key programmes to facilitate Singapore’s groundup movement.

NVPC’s existing Groundup Central will lead the BAGUS Together initiative.

The partners also launched the Groundup Initiative Study (GUIS) 2023, a national-level study examining the groundup movement in Singapore, and the  "Leading from the ground up" digital handbook, a practical guide complementing BAGUS Together.

BAGUS Together co-founders Temasek Foundation and Tote Board will commit  $5 million to the initiative over five years to collaboratively build the capability of the groundup movement in Singapore and strengthen our civic culture of compassion and care.
