Level Up Series

About

Level-Up is a series of topical masterclasses that aim to bridge the skill-gap currently present in non-profits through community-based peer-learning and peer-sharing with partners. These masterclasses cover a variety of topics including storytelling, digital skills, business process redesign and funding, depending on the needs faced by community partners.

Past Events

The Digital for Life (DfL) Proposal Writing workshop jointly conducted by Community Matters and IMDA sought to provide a platform for organisations to ideate a potential project focusing on at least one of the three DfL themes: Digital Wellness, Digital Skills, and Tech for Life.

A total of 15 NPOs participated in this series as part of IMDA’s DfL Movement which aims to help individuals develop the necessary tools, skills and digital habits to succeed in the future.

Series 2 in partnership with SportCare involved 9 NPOs and focused on sports through targeted proposal writing for the Communities of Care grant.

The session aimed at levelling-up NPO ideas using design thinking elements which involved a sport-based engagement, inclusion of a sport component in an existing non-sport programme or by strengthening the delivery of an existing sport based programme for communities in need.

Level Up Series 3, conducted in partnership with SG Eco Fund sought to provide a platform for participating organisations to ideate a programme with sustainability at its forefront.

Session 3 also brought together a total of 29 participating NPOs as well as past recipients of the SG Eco Fund to share about their experience in utilising the fund to successfully execute sustainability based programmes in their own communities.

Community Matters and talentTrust held our first two-part Level Up Series on attracting and engaging high net-worth donors.

During the first roundtable discussion, talenTtrust mentor Chris McEvoy and Tim Oei from the National Kidney Foundation shared their insights on the high net-worth landscape and trends, with the second session focusing on donor prospecting and stewardship.

Facilitated by Renee Gallant and Kirk Stokes, the session touched on the following:

The principles of fundraising
The qualification process including gathering insightful donor information
How approaching the right people at the right time, and for the right project can increase the chance of soliciting donations
