As a broad-based grantmaking organisation, Tote Board works closely with stakeholders and partners, to support broad and diverse worthy projects in the sectors of Arts, Community Development, Education, Health, Social Service and Sports. Through these projects, Tote Board helps to uplift the community by giving hope to vulnerable groups and improving the lives of all in Singapore. Tote Board funds
innovation and experimentation in new areas, which when successful, will be considered for mainstream funding by the government to benefit society and Singaporeans. We play a catalytic role in accelerating programmes to complement the roles of government and other grant-making organisations to scale up the positive impact on society and Singaporeans. We build capacity and capabilities of beneficiaries so that these organisations can be sustainable in their operations and lasting in their positive impact and outcomes for society and Singaporeans. Tote Board’s source of funds is derived from operating surplus of the Tote Board Group, which comprises Tote Board and its wholly-owned subsidiary Singapore Pools (Private) Limited and Singapore Turf Club, a proprietary club owned by Tote Board. Tote Board holds the legal rights to operate horse racing and totalisators, lotteries (4D, Toto, Singapore Sweep) and sports betting (football and Formula One motor racing). Tote Board also ensures that Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club conduct their gaming and racing businesses in a socially responsible manner, to provide legal, safe and trusted gaming as a means to counter illegal gambling.
