Report Overview
A Message
from our CEO
"As we enter the impact decade, only those who deliver meaningful social change alongside business excellence will shape the future."
Mr. Alfie Othman
Leading with Impact
In today's world, if your business can't lead with purpose and deliver real value to society, you'll be left behind. At raiSE, we believe that Social Enterprises (SE) are the businesses of the future, leading the way with social impact at the core of their business existence, not as an afterthought.
As we approach a decade of advocating for Social Entrepreneurship in Singapore, I reflect on the collective social ambition of not just founders, but also other key players in the ecosystem like funders, customers, suppliers, and employees notwithstanding, on charting the course of how businesses can be a vehicle for good. This past year, our work has been a silent testament to that ambition, creating standards for impact measurement and platforms that allow for greater transparency in impact reporting.
Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand how small ideas have blossomed into impactful ventures. We've grown the Social Enterprise sector from a fledgling community of 300+ entities into a significant pillar within the broader business landscape, actively contributing to nation building. Because the needs of our Social Enterprise members have evolved, we endeavour to meet the progressive needs of our diverse and maturing membership.
As SMEs and Corporates increasingly looked to raiSE's membership as a sign of credibility, we embarked on thoughtful changes to our membership support structures; ensuring our membership assessment reflected the richness of our members' impact outcomes and that it embodies the granularity that decision makers needed. After two years and close to 300 instances of consultations with our members, we arrived at a more reflective way of measuring and articulating impact.
During Open Talk 2024 held on 28th August 2024, my colleagues and I shared our plans to enhance our support:
Refining Membership Categories
Starting with the 'raiSE Impact Community' for aspiring startups to 'Emerging Social Enterprise', 'Leading Social Enterprise' for those creating impact and the highest level of recognition, 'Verified Leading Social Enterprise'. Corresponding logos were introduced for each membership category, so customers (both B-C and B-B) could better recognise our members at different stages of their impact journey.
Definition of SE Characteristics
By defining the core characteristics of Social Enterprises: Intentionality, Additionality, and Proportionality (the I-A-P framework), raiSE has established a common language for identifying and recognising social enterprises in Singapore. In the absence of a legal registration framework, raiSE membership serves as a trusted benchmark, providing credibility to Social Enterprises and signaling to funders, partners, and customers that these businesses operate with genuine social impact at their core.
raiSE also played a pivotal role in the development of the Sustainable Philanthropy Framework, an initiative led by the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) in partnership with the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC), the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), and the SG Cares Office. This national framework provides corporates with a structured approach to measure the outcomes of their philanthropic efforts and articulate the 'Social' component of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. raiSE's Social Enterprise members exemplify the principles of this framework, embedding socially responsible business practices into their operations.
Social Impact Report
Transparency is key to building trust and credibility with key stakeholders; therefore, we have made our members' impact achievements visible to the public with the introduction of the Social Impact Report on raiSE's membership directory. It is our hope that this will significantly boost SE credibility and opens doors to collaborations, funding opportunities, and the building pathways for integration into larger business ecosystems.
Impact
Indeed, it takes an entire ecosystem to raiSE Social Entrepreneurs. Even in our Venture Building strategy, we sought to work with Institutes of Higher Learning (IHL) partners because nurturing the next generation of social changemakers is crucial for the future of our ecosystem. Through our funding and accelerator programmes, we provide early-stage support to aspiring Social Entrepreneurs to help them realise their social impact goals.
raiSE EnergiSE Grant
Our flagship funding initiative, raiSE EnergiSE seeks to equip young founders with resources to translate innovative ideas into impactful businesses. The enthusiastic participation from IHLs signals a rising interest in Social Entrepreneurship and it is encouraging that we received 84 applications!
Technology for Sustainable Social Impact Accelerator
In collaboration with the National University of Singapore (NUS), raiSE launched the Technology for Sustainable Social Impact Accelerator (TS2) , offering selected, bold and tech-based startups with invaluable resources, access to raiSE and NUS Enterprise's extensive networks and a customised development plan to accelerate their social impact trajectory.
Our focus on early-stage funding and capacity building stems from our firm belief that Social Enterprises must start their journey with a clear social mission from the outset. Beginning with a clear social mission anchors the business model. When it is explicit and well-communicated, it builds trust and credibility. It has been our experience that Social Enterprises who start with a social mission sustain greater stakeholder support (customers, employees, partners, investors) over time.
Because we believe a business's social mission is its raison d'être, we remain steadfast in our commitment to cultivating the next generation of social entrepreneurs. Through deeper partnerships with IHLs, we embedded our 'Grow Impact' curriculum into the SUSS Venture Building programme and the SUTD Create4Good programme, making it our mission to nurture the next wave of social change makers.
As part of our effort to advocate for Social Enterprises, raising awareness has always been an integral part of our work. Admittedly, the journey of advocating for our trailblazers has been a shared one, many partners have come forward to work hand-in-hand to uplift our Social Enterprise members through various programmes.
The PurpoSE Agenda 2024
On 3 December 2024, we held the second edition of our flagship event, The PurpoSE Agenda, to spark bold conversations on collaborative financing models. The event brought together ecosystem partners, corporate stakeholders, venture capitalists, impact investors, and Social Enterprises who are leading the way in converging profit and purpose.
Strategic Partnerships
On 15 and 16 May 2024, raiSE hosted a 'Social Enterprise: The Future of Business' themed pavilion featuring seven of our Social Enterprises at tech business conference, Echelon, as part of our collaboration with e27 to highlight the growing relevance of impact driven business models and the need to start early.
On 28 March 2025, in partnership with ACE.SG, we co-organised the International Women's Day Accelerate Action Conference, which included a Social Enterprise breakout track on Collaboration over Competition, drawing 275 attendees to celebrate the impact of Women Social Entrepreneurs.
Increasing Visibility
We believe in celebrating and amplifying the impactful work of our members. By leveraging our platforms and forging key partnerships, we enhanced the public profile of our Social Enterprises, connected them with a broader audience, and enhanced recognition for their impact. We congratulate our members featured in the Gen.T list by Singapore Tatler and SL25 by the Stewardship Asia Centre, to name a few.
I want to extend my sincere thanks to our valued ecosystem partners who have acknowledged raiSE's frameworks, recognised the impact created by our Social Enterprise members and increased the visibility of our SE members.
In closing, I am grateful to those that have supported raiSE and uplifted the SE ecosystem and share that we are excited about the journey ahead as raiSE celebrates its 10th Anniversary. We owe our gratitude to the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) and the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) for their steadfast support and to our Chairperson and Board members for their invaluable counsel and dedicated contributions, over the years. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the raiSE team, both past and present, whose passion, resilience, and unwavering commitment have been the driving force behind all that we have achieved together.
Last but not least, I thank our Social Enterprise members for trusting us to journey with you. Your vision, courage, and determination inspire us every day and remind us why we do what we do. With hard-earned lessons and deeper insights, my team and I are ready to forge ahead with renewed purpose for the next decade, leading our SE members with vision, resilience, and impact.
Sincerely,
Alfie Othman
CEO, raiSE

Capability Development: Upskilling People & Enterprise
At raiSE, we are dedicated to nurturing the next generation of changemakers and empowering our existing Social Enterprise members. We educate and equip aspiring individuals with the foundational skills needed to build their own impactful businesses, while offering our members a range of resources and programmes to help them scale their businesses and deepen their impact. This holistic approach ensures a robust and sustainable ecosystem for social change.
Partnering with IHLs
Building The Next Wave Of Changemakers
raiSE strengthened our commitment to cultivating the next generation of Social Entrepreneurs through deeper partnerships with Institutes of Higher Learning, embedding our curriculum into the SUSS Venture Building programme and the SUTD Create4Good programme.
Across the 4 sessions, we reached over 200 participants, covering a comprehensive curriculum. This included an introduction to the Social Enterprise ecosystem, the Social Enterprise Model Canvas, theory of change, and hands-on training in pitch deck development and delivery.
Grow
Impact Workshop
We hosted our inaugural Grow Impact Workshop on 28 February and 4 March 2025 to equip Social Enterprises with the skills needed to scale their impact effectively.
The workshop focused on two key themes: "Strengthening the Care Economy: Inclusive Health, Mental & Social Care" and "Enhancing Knowledge Equity: Inclusive Education, Training & Skill Development."
Participants explored their businesses through the 4 Levers of the SE Business Model Innovation Framework, a powerful tool designed to help Social Enterprises evaluate, innovate, and evolve. Through interactive exercises, they:
Participants also gained valuable insights into Singapore's Social Service Agency (SSA) landscape from Ms. M.N. Fatima, Chief Digital Officer of Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities. Her strategic overview and practical advice helped Social Enterprises understand SSA operating models and explore pathways for more meaningful collaboration.
Participants also engaged in a discussion on Singapore's Mental Health Blueprint, uncovering valuable insights and opportunities to strategically position themselves within the care continuum.
By leveraging and refining the Four Levers of the SE Business Model Innovation Framework, Social Enterprises can overcome challenges, unlock innovation, and deliver greater impact. Prioritising specific beneficiary needs enables them to optimise resources and refine their Unique Selling Proposition, while insights into Social Service Agencies' operational models help align objectives and foster deeper collaboration.
At the same time, staying attuned to emerging trends in the Mental Care Sector allows Social Enterprises to anticipate shifts in demand and strategically position themselves to address evolving needs. This combination of focus, alignment, and foresight ensures they can create stronger, more sustainable outcomes for both beneficiaries and partners.
The workshop concluded with one-on-one consultations where participants received personalised feedback on their "To-Be" SE models. These sessions allowed for deep dives into each enterprise's unique context; refining strategy and execution plans to drive sustained growth and measurable impact.
Members' Onboarding Sessions
To ensure a smooth transition to the new framework and portal, we hosted nine onboarding sessions to help our Social Enterprises navigate the enhanced framework and new portal.
These sessions provided valuable opportunities for members to understand the rationale behind the new framework, gain a clearer picture of impact reporting, and explore new possibilities aligned with the expanded impact areas.
With the introduction of an expanded proportionality metric and aligned beneficiary list, this recognised a wider scope of impact created by our members which allowed members are now better equipped to track, measure, and articulate their social impact more effectively.
raiSE Member's Networking Night
On 10 December 2024, the raiSE Members' Networking Night brought together 22 raiSE Impact Community members and 51 Social Enterprise members for a light-hearted yet purposeful year-end celebration.
Beyond marking the close of the year, the event served as a valuable platform for aspiring Social Entrepreneurs from the raiSE Impact Community to connect with established Social Enterprises that are already creating meaningful impact.
Designed to spark connections and foster collaborations, the event facilitated meaningful conversations and encouraged the exchange of upcoming initiatives, ongoing projects, and potential opportunities for cross-sector partnerships.
The PurpoSE Agenda 2024
The PurpoSE Agenda provided a high-profile platform for Social Enterprises to connect with investors, stakeholders, and partners, while spotlighting panelists, entrepreneurs, leaders, and students across our channels.
On 3 December 2024, we held the second edition of our flagship event, The PurpoSE Agenda, to spark bold conversations on collaborative financing models. The event brought together ecosystem partners, corporate stakeholders, venture capitalists, impact investors, and Social Enterprises who are leading the way in converging profit and purpose.
The morning opened with a closed-door session for funders and ecosystem partners, featuring a panel on "The Ecosystem Effect: Driving Catalytic Growth"and the announcement of the raiSE EnergiSE Grant recipients, each awarded $50,000 to scale their impact:

- Assistive Technologies
- Blind Mice Media
- ShareRight
- Digi-Up! Studio
- Speedback
- HeartBid
- HomePal
- Little Changemakers
- Omnilabs Research
- The Courage Chapter
The afternoon brought the wider community together with a fireside chat exploring whether "social"and "enterprise"are complementary or contradictory, followed by Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) circles led by nine Social Entrepreneurs. These intimate conversations gave guests direct insight into the realities of running a Social Enterprise while fostering peer learning and connection across the community.
With its vibrant networking atmosphere and the energy from the ecosystem fueling catalytic growth, The PurpoSE Agenda stood as more than a conference. It was a strategic convergence of purpose-driven capital, Social Enterprises, and ecosystem leaders accelerating the growth of Social Enterprises in Singapore while reinforcing raiSE's commitment and leadership in shaping the future of impact investing and social entrepreneurship.
Echelon 2024
At Echelon 2024, a tech business conference held on 15-16 May 2024, raiSE hosted a dedicated pavilion featuring seven of our Social Enterprises.
At Echelon 2024, raiSE brought the message "Social Enterprises: The Future of Business" through a pavilion showcase, highlighting the growing relevance of impact-driven models in today's economy. Together with seven Social Enterprises, we presented powerful examples of social innovation across diverse business sectors—from inclusively designed products and services to platforms for inclusive employment.
The showcase not only demonstrated how Social Enterprises can compete and thrive in mainstream markets but also reinforced their role as pioneers shaping the future of business with purpose at the core.

Increasing Visibility
As an ecosystem developer, we remain closely attuned to the needs and challenges of our members to build a vibrant and supportive community. This past year, we created tailored opportunities for our community to connect, collaborate, and grow through our Member-exclusive events and 4 Flagship events, strengthening the bonds that make our collective impact possible.
We believe in celebrating and amplifying the great work of our members. By leveraging our platforms and forging key partnerships, we enhanced the public profile of our Social Enterprises, connected them with a broader audience, and enhanced recognition for their impact. Over the past year, there were 6 PR Features, 100 Unique Social Enterprises profiled and 173 features of our Social Enterprises across all our channels such as our eDMs and social media platforms. This initiative was complemented by media features that highlighted our community's impact through key events and collaborations.
Celebrating Innovation and Gen.T 2024 Honourees
The Tatler Gen.T list honours the next generation of trailblazing leaders and entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of Asia. This initiative is just one of the many ways we empower and recognise our Social Enterprises, providing them with a platform to gain the exposure and network needed to attract partnerships, funding, and talent, ultimately allowing them to scale their impact.
Recognising the great work and impact of our Social Enterprises is a core part of this effort, whether through a feature story or a prestigious award. In line with this commitment, we proudly nominated a number of our members for Tatler's 2024 Gen.T recognition. Those nominated include:

Featuring Future Leaders of Impact
Coming Soon
Redefining the Future of Social Enterprise
As an ecosystem developer, raiSE is redefining Singapore's Social Enterprise landscape through the development of new frameworks, enhancing the credibility of our members.
This ensures that every organisation, from new start-ups to established leaders, receives the necessary support and resources to continue scaling and growing on their social impact journey.
Redefining the
Future of Social
Enterprise
The SE Landscape
Over the past year, raiSE strengthened the credibility and transparency of the Social Enterprise ecosystem by advancing the framework that defines and upholds social impact. This revised framework enables Social Enterprises to:
Articulate their purpose with greater clarity
Measure their contributions with rigour
Build trust with stakeholders and the greater public
Growth in Membership & Revenues
The Social Enterprise sector continues to demonstrate steady growth. As it can be seen in the past year, raiSE's membership has nearly doubled from 357 to 693, reflecting the growing commitment of businesses to prioritise incorporating social impact intentionally and strategically into their enterprise.
The collective revenue of raiSE Social Enterprise members rose from $179.5 million to $210.3 million, underscoring their increasing ability to deliver impact while remaining economically sustainable. This upward trajectory, whilst marginal, signals the sector's expanding contribution to building a more inclusive and equitable future.
The raiSE membership includes 693 businesses across the different stages of their Social Enterprise journey.
Total Impact Created
Within our three key impact areas, there are multiple pathways through which members can deliver impact, each supported by its own set of measurement metrics. The following section highlights the collective local impact achieved by our 358 Emerging and Leading Social Enterprise members in FY 2024 across these three key areas and their respective pathways.
Inclusive Employment Opportunities
Inclusive Products and Services

Top 5 Beneficiary Profiles
Our Social Enterprise members work with a wide array of beneficiaries not only serving these diverse groups but also filling critical social gaps by providing services and opportunities that might otherwise be inaccessible and unaffordable.
Our 358 Social Enterprises work with 14 beneficiary groups. Since a Social Enterprise may support more than one beneficiary group, this results in 721 records. The top 5 beneficiary groups are shown below.
Our Social Enterprise members also work with other profiles of beneficiaries, such as:
Top 5 Industries
Spanning diverse industries, our Social Enterprises demonstrate a powerful reality: that social impact is not exclusive to any single sector.
Aside from the aforementioned industries, our Social Enterprises also exist in diverse sectors such as:
Our 3 Core Defining Social Enterprise Attributes
Image: Taken at Open Talk 2024 where we shared the enhancements to our membership framework and categories
This year at Open Talk 2024, we unveiled our enhanced Impact Framework to over 125 participants consisting of our Key Stakeholders and Social Enterprise Members.
The enhanced framework highlights the three key elements that define a Social Enterprise, namely (i) Intentionality, (ii) Additionality and (iii) Proportionality, and is referred to as I-A-P Framework in short. This framework helps Social Enterprises clearly articulate their social impact.
Intentionality
Additionality
Proportionality
Augmented Membership Categories
Our enhanced framework augmented our membership categories, allowing raiSE to provide more targeted support according to the members' growth stages. These new categories creates a clear pathway for Social Enterprises at every stage: from a promising idea to a verified leader in social impact.
In the past year, we launched a new suite of membership logos. These designs are a visual representation of Social Enterprises at various stages of their journey. They were created to symbolise our belief that Social Enterprises are the future of business and to reflect the progress and growth of the sector.
As members advance, the logos progress in boldness and colour. This visual journey is crafted to grant the highest prominence and credibility to our most established members. The Verified Leading logo, for instance, includes a tick, which is a powerful symbol that their impact has been officially verified by raiSE.
raiSE Impact Community
Signalling of Intentionality
Criteria
We nurture early ventures to embed social impact at their core, building a strong pipeline of future Social Enterprises. Members get foundational, hands-on guidance, quarterly networking and learning journeys introducing our frameworks, community, and the Social Enterprise model canvas.
Emerging Social Enterprises
Committing to Additionality
Criteria
Members benefit from impact-focused capacity-building, peer learning, and mentorship programmes designed to solidify their foundation for next-stage growth.
Leading Social Enterprises
Achieving of Proportionality
Criteria
This category reflects Social Enterprises that have demonstrated a deep integration of all three principles of our framework—Intentionality, Additionality, and Proportionality.
Verified Leading Social Enterprises
Verifying of Impact
Criteria
The Verified Leading Social Enterprise category champions established Social Enterprises with validated impact and financial sustainability. This recognition is built on credibility, sustainability, and sector leadership.
Our Impact Areas
The revised membership framework reframes the impact outcome areas consolidating the previous eight impact outcome areas into three key areas which reflects the diverse ways Social Enterprises create impact. They are now better aligned to the impact indicators used to measure the diverse impact by our Social Enterprise Members consolidating the previous eight impact outcome areas into three key areas which reflects the diverse ways. The new impact outcome areas also allows us to better recognise the efforts by our Social Enterprises in supporting specific beneficiary needs and addressing market gaps.
As part of our revised framework, we have also streamlined how we categorise members' Impact Outcome Areas, providing greater clarity based on feedback we have received. This new approach more accurately reflects the diverse ways our members create change.
Inclusive Employment
Creating accessible job opportunities for beneficiaries to earn an income.
This fosters equity and diversity in Singapore’s workforce while upholding fair wages, supportive work environments, and potential for career growth.
Inclusive Products & Services
Increasing accessibility to products or services for beneficiaries through customisation to existing products or services, or providing subsidies to meet the needs of underserved communities.
Capacity Building for Social Organisations
Enabling social organisations to focus on servicing their beneficiaries by providing tools, training, and resources to enhance efficiency.
Our New raiSE Members' Portal & Directory
Alongside the membership framework enhancement, we also launched a refreshed members' portal to create a more efficient, centralised experience. This platform serves as a hub where members can seamlessly renew their membership applications, update their social impact reports and profiles, and access a suite of member-exclusive resources.
We have also launched a redesigned Social Enterprise directory, which provides greater clarity to our external stakeholders on the impact, products, and services offered by Social Enterprises. This increases their exposure to corporate procurement and collaboration opportunities.
Social Impact Report
Within the next year, we will introduce a public Social Impact Report for our members on the raiSE directory. This report aims to provide a greater credibility and enhance transparency for our Social Enterprise members by allowing them to publicly disclose their impact outputs and outcomes, which were previously reported to raiSE and not made public. It would also allow for external partners to easily identify potential collaborators who align with their goals.
