The Emergence and Impact of Local Ground-up Initiatives

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded in Singapore, we witnessed many individuals and groups initiate voluntary, ground-up initiatives to support the vulnerable across a variety of projects.

This report seeks to study the emergence of domestic ground-up initiatives and their challenges, so as to better understand how they can be better supported. It provides insights into: • Why and how ground-ups begin; • What motivates individuals to start these initiatives; • What their team compositions and manpower needs are; • What challenges they face; • What success means to them; and • What their future plans are.

The research study adopted a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods, including a survey of SG Strong grantee partners who started ground-up initiatives. Acer Pacer Consulting conducted the research, with funding from TMT.
