Management and Leadership of Non-Profit Organisations in Singapore

Non-profit organisations play a significant role in helping to build a more caring and inclusive Singapore. Organisations in the non-profit sector span over diverse mission and purpose from advancing education, community development, environmental protection, arts and culture, promotion of health and well-being, relief of poverty, and more. For these organisations, navigating the landscape of funders and grantmakers across the public and private sectors is complex and competitive. Against a backdrop of sociodemographic shifts and technological advancement, there is the ongoing quest to stay relevant.

This book aims to address the distinctive management challenges of non-profits in Singapore. It draws on the context of this island city-state to discuss strategies and management frameworks that will enable leaders and managers in non-profit organisations to more effectively achieve social impact amidst internal organisational issues and an evolving external landscape.
