About the Cultural Matching Fund
Established by Ministry of Culture Community and Youth (MCCY), the Cultural Matching Fund (CMF) provides matching grants for private cash donations to registered charities in the arts and heritage sector.
The CMF aims to encourage giving to our arts and heritage sector. This will create a more sustainable arts and heritage scene, and one in which more people in Singapore have a stake. The CMF will match monetary donations received by the eligible organisations, from individuals, foundations and corporations. The CMF enhances the value of every cash donation for the receiving organisation which can be put to various uses, including developing capabilities for the long-term sustainability of the organisation and the cultural sector as a whole.
The National Arts Council is the appointed Secretariat for the administration of the CMF.
