Active Citizen Grant

Up to S$20,000 or 80% of supported costs (whichever is lower); Young ChangeMakers up to S$6,000-$8,000 at 100%

The Active Citizen Grant, administered by Sport Singapore, encourages innovative ground-up initiatives and community-based activities across three domains: sports volunteerism, physical activity, and health & wellness initiatives. It supports community sporting events and projects that promote Team Singapore, sport volunteerism (Team Nila), and youth-led sporting initiatives (YouthCreates). The grant has three distinct tracks: Team Singapore (strengthening athlete affinity), Team Nila (sport volunteerism), and YouthCreates (youth-led sporting initiatives). A smaller Young ChangeMakers x YouthCreates grant supports youth-led projects with enhanced funding terms.
