Using grounded research, it explores the evolution of giving by individuals, the community and the private sector in Singapore from the end of World War II in 1945 to today. It looks at how each group gives towards prevailing social needs, unexpected events and crises as well as government calls for community support across fve key phases in Singapore’s journey to nationhood. To provide context to the giving, the political and socio-economic situation of each time frame and concurrent government social welfare provisions in each phase are also described. The data collected shows evidence of complementary eforts across the people, public and private sectors over time, from the rebuilding of Singapore after the war to the formation and running of the Singapore Council of Social Service, the Community Chest, Singapore Community Foundation, ethnic self-help groups and various social movements. In the immediate post-war period (1945-1959), all three sectors worked in tandem to rebuild Singapore. In the frst years of independence (1959-1975), the public sector took the lead to build basic social and economic infrastructure with the people and private sectors flling in the gaps. Once Singapore had achieved economic stability, the government corralled the community and corporates to frst unite in (1975-1990) and then initiate support for the underprivileged (1990-2004).
