CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

“Time flies” feels especially true as we mark our 8th year at The Majurity Trust.

When we first started Majurity, it was grounded on our core belief in the power of the collective. By bringing together donors, partners, and communities, we can better identify needs, pool resources, and create more meaningful and lasting impact than any one of us could alone.

As we look ahead to our 10th year, we find ourselves reflecting not just on the outcomes thus far, but also on how impact is truly created. Hence the theme of this year’s report “Impact In The Making” is a reflection and sharing of the realities we see each day.

Impact is rarely immediate, is almost never linear, and is not always “scalable” in the commercial sense, but is always much needed. As this report reflects, it is a journey shaped by innovative breakthroughs, valleys of doubt, and long stretches of steady progress. What is often visible to the outside world — programmes delivered, beneficiaries reached, funds deployed — is but a small part of the story. 

Behind every outcome lies intentionality.
Behind every number lies relationships.
Behind every success lies the quiet, consistent work of building trust, strengthening capabilities, connecting the dots, and asking how we can do better.

As a Board, we have the privilege of seeing this up close.

We see the depth of conversations that shape our strategies.
We see the discipline in how resources are stewarded.
And we see the care taken to journey with our grantee partners —not just as funders, but as partners in their journey.

With this in mind, we took time as a Board and management team to step back and reflect on our journey thus far, and the next decade of possibilities ahead. At our Board Retreat in Oxford and London in late 2025, we exchanged ideas with leading academics, subject matter experts, corporates and impact organisations. What stood out to us was how many of the challenges, lessons and needs in the UK were applicable to our own in Singapore. And how even more so than us, there seems to already be a strong shared belief in working together to amplify impact in the UK.

When we started Majurity 8 years ago, we were able to learn from our sister organisation the Robin Hood Foundation in New York. These global relationships like Dasra in India, and more recently our partners in the UK, help us to refine and improve our work in catalytic and evidence-based giving, allowing us to tackle complex needs better in Singapore.

Through these exchanges, our conviction in how we invest our resources has deepened — being intentional in where we focus, disciplined in how we steward what we are entrusted with, and committed to strengthening organisations and relationships taking a long term outlook.

For us, this is what it means to do philanthropy differently.

In addition to being thoughtful, intentional, and collaborative, it is crucial to maintain both open hearts as well as open minds, and to practice non-judgement as that helps keep at bay any unconscious biases we may have.

Over the past year, we have made a deliberate shift towards going deeper. This has meant reaching fewer beneficiaries but more depth in the work we support. This is not a trade-off, but a choice — one that reflects our belief that lasting change requires investing in organisations, leaders, and communities over the long term.

None of this would be possible without the donors supporting our work.

I am deeply grateful to our supporters and key donors, whose trust allows us to invest with a longer-term view. Your belief in a more thoughtful, relational approach to philanthropy enables us to support work that may not always be visible, but is yet essential.

To our grantee partners, thank you for the work you do every day on the ground. Your commitment to addressing unseen needs, often in complex and challenging environments, continues to inspire us.

To my fellow Board members and our Leadership Council, thank you for your continued guidance and support over the past year.

And to the Majurity team — thank you. Your dedication, discipline, and heart are what transforms intention into impact. Much of what you do happens behind the scenes, but it is this very work that makes everything else possible.

As we look towards our 10th year, we do so with both humility and conviction. There is still much to learn, and more to build. And many more needs that remain unseen. As the past 8 years have shown us, when we come together with open hearts, intentionality and a shared purpose, the seeds we plant can flourish into lasting impact with multiplier effects we will never fully comprehend today. But for those whose lives our collective decisions to “Do Something” have touched, the value may be immeasurable.

Thank you for being part of this seed planting journey with us.

Together, let us continue building a Singapore where no child, woman or man is left behind, and more among us thrive.

Keep thriving,
Danny Yong

In 2025, we reached 56% less beneficiaries

AND THAT IS PART OF OUR PLAN

→ We supported fewer one-off, large-scale outreach programmes, and more sustained, small-scale initiatives like support groupsand organisational capacity building efforts.

Journeying closely with each grantee partner, we believe this strategy helps us create deeper, lasting impact.

INPUT & OUTPUT

OUTCOMES

01 THRIVING BENEFICIARIES

Our first level of impact is the individual. We support organisations that are meeting the unseen needs of youth, seniors, caregivers, low-income parents, persons with disabilities, migrant workers, and many others.

IMPROVED MENTAL WELLBEING

55%

of 203 surveyed participants reported improvements to their mental wellbeing after participating in our funded programmes.

OUR MEASUREMENT APPROACH

Organisations measure mental wellbeing differently. Some may use tools like the SWEMWBS, WHO-5, or PHQ-2 while others may use simple surveys better suited to their target group. To calculate this number, we looked for pre-post changes across the different tools.

INCREASED KNOWLEDGE & AWARENESS

85%

of 470 surveyed participants reported improvements to their knowledge and awareness after participating in our funded programmes.

OUR MEASUREMENT APPROACH

Our partners spread awareness about topics like dementia, mental health, caregiving, and others. To calculate improvements, we aggregated retrospective pre-post feedback across the different thematic areas.

INCREASED ECONOMIC STABILITY

92%

of 126 surveyed participants improved or maintained a high level of financial wellbeing after participating in our funded programmes.

OUR MEASUREMENT APPROACH

Our partners work with vulnerable groups like migrant domestic workers and low-income parents to improve their economic stability. To calculate improvements, we look at increases in savings, improvements in self-reported financial wellbeing, or maintenance of high levels of financial wellbeing.

MAJURITY’S APPROACH TO OUTCOME MEASUREMENT

PRINCIPLES BEHIND MAJURITY’S MEASUREMENT, EVALUATION AND LEARNING (MEL) APPROACH

Majurity’s grantee partners span a wide range of causes, capabilities, and contexts. Imposing uniform outcome metrics across this diversity would risk measuring what is easy, rather than what is meaningful. Our MEL approach is therefore guided by a foundational commitment to fit: fit to the partner’s stage of development, fit to the evaluation question at hand, and fit to the resources available to answer it.

 

In practice, this means we work alongside grantee partners to select or co-design measurement approaches that are proportionate and purposeful, drawing on validated instruments where appropriate, and on tailored questions where those serve the inquiry better. We employ mixed methods where the evaluation question demands it.

MEASUREMENT TOOLS AND CONCEPTS MENTIONED IN THIS REPORT

The tools and concepts listed below reflect the methods used for our grantee partners’ outcome measurement approaches. As our grantee partners, funded programmes, and focus areas shift iteratively every year, so will our measurement practice.

Validated Instruments
  1. Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (SWEMWBS)

    The SWEMWBS is a validated self-report instrument designed to measure mental wellbeing in the general population. It consists of 7 positively worded items assessing aspects of psychological functioning, such as optimism, clarity of thinking, and feeling useful. Respondents rate each item on a 5-point Likert scale based on their experiences over the past two weeks. Scores are summed and typically transformed using a standard conversion table to produce a metric score, with higher scores indicating greater mental wellbeing.

  2. World Health Organisation Well-Being Index (WHO-5)

    The WHO-5 is a short, widely used self-report measure of current mental wellbeing developed by the World Health Organization. It includes 5 positively phrased items reflecting subjective psychological well-being (e.g., positive mood, vitality, and general interests). Each item is rated on a 6-point scale based on experiences over the past two weeks. Raw scores are summed and often multiplied by 4 to yield a percentage score ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better wellbeing. It is commonly used as a screening tool for depression and for monitoring changes in wellbeing over time.

Tailored Approaches
  1. Awareness: Where programmes aim to shift participants’ understanding on a specific issue, we use retrospective pre-post questions calibrated to the programme’s focus area and scored on three-to-five point Likert scales. Question design is developed in close collaboration with each grantee partner to ensure alignment with their evaluation priorities.
  2. Financial Wellbeing: We measure individual financial wellbeing differently based on a programme’s goals.

    → Financial self-efficacy: Some programmes focused on knowledge building used questions like “I feel that I can manage my finances well”, that were scored on a Likert scale. This allowed for a pre-post comparison of financial self-efficacy.

    → Savings: Other programmes focused on behavioural change requested that participants report their average monthly savings before and after the course. This allowed for a pre-post comparison of monthly savings trends.

  3. Organisational Development: With reference to NCSS’s Organisational Health Framework for Social Services, we have identified 5 key domains of organisational development that are most critical for establishing strong foundations in early stage startups:→ Strategy & Leadership
    → User Centric Services
    → Governance
    → People
    → Finance

From these 5 domains, we have designed a 15-item checklist to guide the incubation process with each grantee partner. Partners are evaluated each year, comparing their intake scores to the final third-year incubation score, providing a structured, long-term view of organisational growth and the strength of foundations built during the incubation period.

OUR WORKING PRINCIPLES

HEART

At Majurity, grants are never just transactions — they are relationships.

By grantmaking with heart, we attempt to subvert the traditional funder-grantee dynamics, and instead, create something more powerful. Trust is our currency, and we foster stronger relationships throughcheck-ins, brainstorming sessions,and open communication. We build understanding between our donors and grantee partners by facilitating sharing sessions and site visits.

ACCOUNTABILITY

At Majurity, we are committed to staying accountable in our work with donors and grantee partners.

Yet where accountability may be perceived as rigidity, we practice flexibility balanced with discipline. With our grantee partners, we co-design output targets, rather than dictate them. This also means going beyond the numbers, and realising that progress isn’talways quantitative. With our donors, we help broaden their vision of what impact can look like. We combine progress reports with contextual insights, rooted in empathy.

INSIGHTS

Research is integral to identifying gaps and deploying funding effectively.

Through our work with The Social Investment Consultancy (TSIC), we surveyed funders, intermediaries, ecosystem builders and social enterprises. Our research revealed that each stakeholder group diagnosed the landscape with different problems — their positionality informed by their experiences. To help bridge this gap, we brought different groups of stakeholders together — presenting our findings to them, and facilitating hard-hitting conversations. Through the science of research and the art of conversation, we use research as a tool for more than just strategy, but for understanding. But we’ve learned that who you bring to the table is just as important as what you ask.

 

INTENTIONALITY

At Majurity, we bring intentionality into every aspect of our work.

Grant applications and reporting, for example, can be long and tedious, often distracting grantee partners from the valuable work they do on the ground. We intentionally build processes that empower, rather than burden our grantee partners.

INTEGRATION

At Majurity, integration means seeing donors, researchers, grantee partners, and the people they serve as one community.

By bringing them together, we believethat we create the conditions to truly reinvent philanthropy.

Through the Thriving Communities Initiative in Chong Pang, we mobilised resident leaders to run Resilience Trails, showing donors and community members the grounded realitiesof neighbourhood needs.

By bringing donors into the residents’ own neighbourhoods, we shifted power dynamics. Resident voices were heard and community strengths spotlighted.

↑ Keynote speaker Neera Nundy, Co-Founder and Partner of Dasra, India’s leading strategic philanthropy organisation.

A key message that resonated with us was this thought:

“Too often, monitoring feels like policing, and evaluation feels like someone coming in just to find what’s not working… What if we could shift the emphasis to learning? We are all on a journey, we are all learning together.”

→ Numbers matter, but they must be paired with stories, lived experiences, and community voices to capture change meaningfully. A balanced approach that integrates both data and narrative allows for a more holistic understanding of what works — and what doesn’t. When we only focus on what can be easily measured, we risk overlooking the deeper, human dimensions of change.

THE ELEPHANT
IN THE ROOM

Tackling the elephant in the room involves asking the hard questions and difficult conversations that people often avoid, to identify unseen needs often ignored or sidelined.

THE WHITE ELEPHANT

A stark reminder for us to stay relevant and to catalyse meaningful change with resources entrusted to us.

“No single actor… can achieve meaningful change alone. Each of us must do our part: to give, to partner, to listen, and to learn. Because when we do, we build not just stronger organisations, but stronger communities.”

IPC STATUS

The Majurity Trust Limited (UEN: 201734370C) is a philanthropic organisation, recognised as an Institution of a Public Character (IPC).

WHISTLE-BLOWING POLICY

TMT has a Whistle Blowing Policy that provides an avenue for employees, volunteers and external parties to raise concerns and report of any suspected fraud, corruption, dishonest practices or other related matters. The policy promotes responsible and secure whistleblowing without fear of adverse consequences. All whistle-blower reports will be reviewed by the Audit Chairman immediately to ensure independent and thorough investigation and adequate follow- up.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY

The policy aims to protect TMT and its members from any appearance of impropriety. It mandates that all Board Members and Staff must exercise the highest duty of care and judgment when dealing with matters relating TMT, and to disclose all interests (commitment, investment, relationship, obligation, involvement, financial, or otherwise), which may be a potential conflict of interest. The policy provides procedures and guidelines on how conflict of interest situations are to be handled. All Board Members and Staff are to complete a declaration at the beginning of their service, as well as make a new declaration on an annual basis or when there are any changes.

RESERVE POLICY

TMT's approach to philanthropy is to raise funds based on the scope of needs identified by research. As such, TMT is looking towards building a prudent reserve as we scope out the next phase of growth for the organisation.

POLICY ON LOANS

Any loans, donations, grants, or financial assistance made TMT for purposes outside the scope of its approved programmes shall be approved by the Board. We have not exercised this.
