Celebrating 10 Years with raiSE: A Decade in Singapore’s Social Enterprise Ecosystem

We are deeply honoured to share that Make The Change has been awarded the 10 Year Membership Award by raiSE.

This milestone is more than a number. It represents a decade of belief, collaboration, learning, and collective action within Singapore’s social enterprise ecosystem.

Growing Together Since the Beginning

From the early days of raiSE, Make The Change has had the privilege of being part of a growing movement of purpose driven organisations committed to doing business differently. Being part of the ecosystem since its formative years has allowed us to witness first hand how social enterprises in Singapore have evolved in scale, impact, and ambition.

raiSE has played a critical role in nurturing this ecosystem. Through capacity building, funding support, partnerships, and advocacy, raiSE has helped social enterprises turn ideas into sustainable models that create real and measurable impact for communities.

A Shared Commitment to Impact

Over the past 10 years, our journey with raiSE has reinforced what we believe deeply at Make The Change. That creativity, technology, and business can be powerful forces for good when guided by purpose.

As a social enterprise, our work with youths, seniors, persons with disabilities, schools, and communities has always been shaped by the values championed within the raiSE ecosystem. Collaboration over competition. Long term impact over short term gains. And inclusion as a foundation, not an afterthought.

This recognition affirms the importance of staying committed to these values even as the work becomes more complex and the challenges more urgent.

Gratitude to the Community

This award belongs not just to our team, but to the wider community that has walked alongside us. Fellow social enterprises, partners, mentors, funders, educators, and community organisations who continue to inspire us with their courage and dedication.

We are especially grateful to raiSE for being a constant anchor in the ecosystem. For believing in social enterprises before it was mainstream, and for continuing to champion innovation with heart.

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on the past decade, we do so with humility and optimism. The challenges facing our communities and our planet demand even deeper collaboration and bolder ideas.

We remain committed to growing alongside the social enterprise ecosystem, supporting changemakers of all ages, and using creativity and technology to enable meaningful social impact.

Thank you, raiSE, for 10 years of partnership, trust, and shared purpose. It has truly been our privilege to be part of this journey from the very beginning.
