Make An Impact Beyond Your Lifetime

Francis Goh encourages his clients to think of their Last Will and Testament as their love letter to the ones that they are leaving behind. "When a person realises that he or she is a beneficiary of your giving, it is that moment when that person whom you have chosen to bless feels the depth of your love and care," says Francis, "If you choose to leave a gift to a charitable cause, it is also an expression of your concern for society."

Following His Calling In Planned Giving

Do you need to wait until you are wealthy to start giving? For Allen Lim, the answer is an emphatic no, but with one distinct caveat. "It's very important that giving takes into account your and your family's financial security," insists Allen, "That's why planning is crucial, because with the right strategy, you can do both."

#MyGivingJourney x Hauw Soo Hoon: Insuring the future for vulnerable students 

Hauw Soo Hoon has always loved mathematics. So when she discovered some students in her estate were struggling with the subject, getting just 15 marks out of 100, her heart plummeted. She wanted to help them and even get them to love numbers. An opportunity came through her grassroots contacts who were looking for someone to helm a programme to tutor children from rental flats and troubled families.
