How We Help

The Bloomtime Project is a non-profit organisation established in Singapore with a desire to see people of potential realize their dreams and goals in the area of social enterprise with guidance and resources so that they may then pay-forward kindness to future generations.

* * * * *

We carefully evaluate and support initiatives that can make a real difference to our communities.

  • Assistance to refine the project plan and launch.

  • Leadership training and mentoring appropriate to age and goal as needed.

  • Connections to other relevant experts and supporters in their area.

  • Financial support suitable to the scale of the program.

  • Bloomtime aims to support visionary people who have an idea to build a social enterprise or society-beneficial project from the ground up in an area they are passionate about.

  • It seeks to overcome the problem where existing potential funders focus on business viability resulting in many great small ideas from starting.

  • Instead of financial, the focus is on social benefit, impact and personal growth of the project owner.

  • This person would have a specific project prepared, they drive the outcome, but Bloomtime gives them a supporting hand to start and grow.
