What is it
for? | To
encourage the development of ground-up initiatives involving stakeholder and
citizens, to co-deliver and co-create public education programmes on problem
gambling. Some examples of such
programmes include: · Providing
advertisement platforms or delivery channels to your trade association
membership, on problem gambling education content · Customising useful

Who can
apply? | Organisations
including social service agencies, social enterprises, non-profits (e.g.
schools, self-help groups) and for-profits which are able to clearly demonstrate
their ability to deliver and create programmes relating to problem gambling
awareness. Key target
groups to reach out include: youths (on topics of gambling risks in online
gaming, social and sports betting), working adults (on topics relating to casino
and sports betting) and retirees (on topics relating to all forms of
gambling). Programmes must be
secular in nature. |

How much funding is
available and for how long? | Interested
parties may contact NCPG Secretariat (melvin_lee@msf.gov.sg) to discuss
funding cap and quantum.
The
submitted funding proposal must provide clear programme cost breakdown and
suggest co-funding by the organisation where possible. Where 100% full funding
is sought, the organisation needs to provide comprehensive justification for the
requirement. Funding
period may range from several months to a maximum of one year in the first
instance. For multiple year funding application, individuals/ organisations need
to propose feasible KPIs (outreach/outcome) and provide clear reports at the end
of the first year for continuation of funding. |
---|
Why apply for
funding? | Our
national problem gambling framework, comprising regulatory and social safeguards
set up by the government, preventive education and intervention efforts by NCPG
and social service/healthcare partners have kept our problem gambling rates
below 1%, which is one of the lowest globally. We would like to
invite individuals and organisations who are keen to contribute to this cause to
work with us. |

When to apply?
| Organisations can
apply for the funding at any time of the year. |
---|
How long will it take
for applicants to know the
outcome? | Funding
applicants will be notified within 4 weeks if their application is successful.
During this period, NCPG may contact them for discussion of the proposed
project. If
successful, a funding agreement between NCPG and the individual/ organisation
will be prepared. |
---|
How will funding
applications be evaluated? | NCPG will evaluate
funding proposals based on the following criteria: · Proposal – objective,
target audience, KPI, implementation plan and timeline · Track
record/background of organisation to achieve the intended
objectives · Cost
effectiveness · Programme
sustainability |
---|
How will the funds be
disbursed? | In general, funding
claims can only be made upon completion of each programme milestone. During the
funding agreement drafting, NCPG will discuss with the applicant on clear
deliverables for every milestone and how many milestones are feasible for the
programme. |
---|
What is expected from
programme partners during the funding period? | All approved
programmes must designate a key project manager for NCPG to liaise with
throughout the programme period.
A kick-off
meeting between NCPG and the programme team shall take place within the first
month of agreement signing, with clear timeline and deliverables being
established. The project manager shall put in place regular project update
meetings, schedules of activities and cater for NCPG’s programme audit
requirements. If
programme partners are unable to meet deliverable milestones due to project
delay or other factors, they shall be expected to inform NCPG in advance for
both parties to determine the best resolution forward e.g. programme
termination/delay etc. |
---|
If partners wish to
apply for renewal of the programme after the initial funding period, is it
possible? | If the programme
partner wishes to put up a multi-year application, it shall propose clear KPIs
to achieve towards the end of the first year for NCPG to consider if the
programme may be continued. It should also propose outcome measurements where
possible to aid in this renewal. |
