• Eligible Singapore charities to get access to world-class expertise and funding through Bloomberg’s Data for Good Exchange (D4GX) program to boost data knowledge and capabilities.
• Six sector-leading charities to receive S$60,000 each to apply data-driven solutions to fast-track their organization.

Singapore, April 22, 2025 – Bloomberg has announced a funding and capability-building boost for local charities with the launch of its Data for Good Exchange (D4GX) program in Singapore, at The Majurity Conversations event, held at The Foundry.

The program empowers eligible Singapore-registered charities to unlock the power of data by building capability and knowledge of ways to best apply their datasets for greatest impact. At the completion of the D4GX program, six sector-leading Singapore charities will share a total of S$360,000 in grants to help enhance their operations, make better-informed decisions, and innovate new service standards using advanced data to super-charge their impact.

Singapore-registered charities can start their data transformation journey by applying for the inaugural D4GX 2025 Cohort. The process includes:

• D4GX 2025 Cohort Application: From April 22, Singapore-registered charities can apply for the D4GX Program here. Up to 60 charities dedicated to leveraging data for social good will be selected for the D4GX 2025 Cohort.
• D4GX Summit: On June 11, 2025, an inaugural summit will convene the D4GX 2025 Cohort. Up to 60 charities will gain insights from industry and government leaders and participate in hands-on workshops to enhance fundamental data skills. Following the Summit, the 2025 D4GX Cohort will be invited to apply for the D4GX grant and accelerator program. They will be asked to unpack their organization’s strategy and capabilities and to identify a data challenge or problem to explore.
• Grant and Accelerator Program: Six charities will be selected from the Cohort in the beginning of August. They will join a three-month grant and accelerator program supported by The Majurity Trust and talenTtrust. These six charities will receive mentoring from data and technology experts to develop a data solution. Each charity will receive S$60,000 in funding from Bloomberg to implement their data-driven solution.

Vandna Ramchandani, Regional Head of Corporate Philanthropy Asia Pacific at Bloomberg, said, “The Data for Good Exchange 2025 is a powerhouse for social impact, bringing together leading experts from government, the non-profit sector, and corporate partners, to share their collective experiences making data truly inclusive, to benefit communities in Singapore.”

While, Kelvin Cen, Head of Southeast Asia at Bloomberg, emphasized, “Quality data drives impact and can be a force for social change. The Data for Good Exchange program equips charities with the skills to innovate and make data-driven decisions. This program is our flagship commitment to a data-powered Singapore, leveraging Bloomberg’s expertise to transform communities and build a thriving ecosystem of data experts in our nation.”

Lisa Gainer, Chief Executive Officer, talenTtrust said, “We are delighted to partner with Bloomberg to launch the Data for Good Exchange in Singapore. With our complementary skills and deep understanding of Singapore’s non-profit sector since 2014, our goal is to build the capacity of local charities and their leaders to ensure these organizations can excel and endure.”

Additionally, Martin Tan, Chief Executive Officer, The Majurity Trust stated, “Facilitating sector-wide conversations and programs such as Data for Good Exchange Singapore is important, and we support Bloomberg and other industry leaders in helping charities operate more professionally with strategic data insights to achieve their goals.”

Applications are open to all Singapore-registered charities committed to leveraging data to tackle organizational challenges or realize new opportunities.
