Historically, foundations in Singapore have been among the most generous promoters of the NUS vision. We hope to build on this tradition by encouraging philanthropic support from regional and global foundations as well.
To discuss making your foundation gift, call Vice President, Endowment and Institutional Development KC Chew at (+65) 6516-1085, or e-mail kc.chew@nus.edu.sg.
