Retire With A Purpose
Retire With A Purpose (RWAP) was launched in September 2017 as Singapore’s first pre-retirement initiative to engage organisations to cultivate a culture of sharing through volunteerism at work.
The aim is to encourage employees aged 40 and above to be a volunteer. The programme is suitable for those who are interested in retirement planning or are already supporting community causes.
Employees will be introduced to a structured volunteering journey based on their interests, time commitment and goals over a five-month period.
In 2019, RSVP Singapore has engaged over 14,000 seniors through 73 community talks and workshops organised for/with corporates and other community partners (corporates such as Standard Chartered Bank and AXA, and community partners such as Council for Third Age, National Trades Union Congress, Chinese Development Assistance Council, Ministry of Social and Family Development, Singapore Teachers’ Union and Public Service Cares).
450 seniors were trained as volunteers and close to 2,000 seniors have signed up to be deployed as volunteers.
Corporate Partnership
RSVP Singapore plans and provides a range of community service activities for corporates to participate and fulfill CSR objectives. Our CSR events are thematically categorised by Learning Journeys, Befriending, Thematic and Nature, to allow corporates variety in executing meaningful CSR projects for beneficiaries and to inspire employees to serve the needs of the community. RSVP also runs several community service programmes that corporates can sponsor in support of the respective programmes. All donations are 2.5 times tax deductible.

Our menu of activities have been curated to cater for corporates with different needs. We have great collaborations with many VWOs and social organisations serving meaningful causes and underprivileged communities. To download our CSR Menu, click here.

Every year, we organise over 20 events with 400 corporate volunteers and reach out to over 1,000 beneficiaries. This programme allows us to provide a platform where employees can create purposeful volunteering journeys and connect with causes which resonate with them. All events are led by our trained volunteers. For more information on our past events, click here.
