“Since we started using the giving.sg platform in July 2024, CheckMate has successfully onboarded nearly 50 dedicated volunteers in just four months. As a groundup initiative that is not yet incorporated or registered as an entity, the platform has provided the credibility we need to attract volunteers who are passionate about combating scams and misinformation.

From event befrienders at the NLB S.U.R.E. Festival to skilled fact-checkers who verify information shared with our WhatsApp bot, each volunteer plays an essential role in our mission. The platform has made it easy to recruit diverse and skilled volunteers, enabling us to build a reliable community that helps us expand our impact across Singapore.”
– Hui Wen, Strategy and Partnerships Lead of CheckMate

The Achievers is a groundup initiative that serves long stay residents in the Buangkok Green Medical Park through befriending. Over the last five years, we’ve created more than 70 volunteering opportunities on giving.sg to recruit volunteers for PHAngel, which involves snack distribution during public holidays, and befrienders to bring residents for outings.

The platform is easy to navigate and use. Creating a volunteer opportunity takes less than 5 minutes, and we can answer queries on the go as our contact information is made available to interested volunteers. To date, we have successfully recruited over 500 volunteers, many of whom came back to volunteer with us.”
– Kwon Seng, Groundup Leader of The Achievers
