About
ACI Trampoline Fund
The ACI Trampoline Fund supports non-profit programmes and initiatives that address the longer-term needs of vulnerable people in Singapore, beyond the current Covid-19 crisis period.
The name of this fund was inspired by Senior Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam and we want to provide a trampoline for people to bounce back.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on lives and livelihoods.
- It is imperative that we look ahead to support vulnerable and the disadvantaged in society beyond the crisis.
- The ACI Trampoline Fund is structured to support initiatives that creates sustainable and lasting change in society to allow the disadvantaged *bounce back and emerge stronger* out of this crisis.

WITH YOUR SUPPORT
Donating to ACI Trampoline Fund
We hope that you will help us in this novel initiative by donating to the ACI Trampoline Fund and/or donating to the charity of your choice. Your action will engender a positive impact to the various beneficiaries, as well as raising the spirits of the financial markets community.
In terms of fundraising, we are hoping to reach out to the wider group of financial markets community. Last year we had 32 financial institutions and hundreds of individuals. Given the virtual event, we hope to scale to new heights in participation.
The campaign will be running from 15th May to 30th June 2020, with the main event on the 29th May 2020. We are not ruling out any additional events and initiatives to garner more donations.
We are reaching out to the previous individual significant cash donors and corporates that will have the budget to support. About half of last year’s net funds raised of S$700,000 was from a small number of donors. Besides that, we are also going to be reaching out to banks and other financial markets organisations, practitioners that may support a team of 10 and also those that want to join the event with their spouse.
