Youths targeted by Temasek Foundation’s #WeGotThis sustainability movement
Temasek Foundation is funded through philanthropic endowments from Temasek, Singapore’s state investment company, and runs programmes across social resilience, regional capability building and science and nature.
The foundation’s Marie Curie Programme, run with NUS High School of Mathematics & Science, supports female primary school students who show early promise in maths and science. It’s part of a wider push across Singapore’s philanthropic sector to close gender gaps in STEM participation before they widen at secondary and tertiary level.
On climate, Temasek Foundation partnered with WWF Singapore to launch #WeGotThis, a youth focused digital sustainability movement aiming to reach one million young people on social media and help them run their own digital campaigns on sustainability issues. Temasek Foundation isn’t an operating company itself, so its programmes offer a useful contrast: what giving looks like when it comes from an investment holding structure rather than a consumer facing business.
