Club of Rome

The organisation reflects its members' shared concern for the future of humanity and the planet. The association sees its task as acting as an independent, global catalyst for change. The objectives of the Association are therefore: to identify the key issues that are critical to the future of humanity; to evaluate alternative scenarios for the future and assess risks, choices and opportunities through integrated and forward-looking analyses; to develop and propose practical solutions to the identified challenges; to communicate new insights and knowledge from these analyses to decision-makers in the public and private sectors, as well as to the wider public; to stimulate public debate and effective action to improve the prospects for the future of humanity and the planet. The Association's activities are guided by the following three complementary principles: 1. the need to adopt a global, systems-oriented perspective in analysing the problems facing the modern world, recognising that the increasing interdependence of nations and the globalisation of previously local problems create challenges that are beyond the capacity of individual countries. 2. the need for a comprehensive, holistic approach in order to gain a deeper understanding of the complexity and interconnectedness of both current problems and practical solutions, in political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological and cultural terms, which the association refers to as the 'world problematique'. 3. the need to emphasise transdisciplinary and long-term perspectives, which are all too often neglected by governments and other decision-makers, and to focus on those decisions, strategies and measures that will determine the fate of present and future generations. The aim is to arouse public interest and provide responsible decision-makers with a solid basis for formulating and implementing future-oriented measures. The association does not pursue any commercial purposes and does not seek to make a profit.

The World Transplant Games Federation

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

Syinc Limited

Syinc is an experimental youth engagement nonprofit that enables and channels the energy and creativity of young people to the social challenges of our time and in our community. We are driven by this question: The problems feel big, and we as people feel small. How do we, on the ground, interact with inherently structural socio-economic issues in any meaningful way? Can we? We work with partners to understand the underlying factors of complex problems, grasp the wider context that surrounds them, and co-create solutions that speak to real needs of real people - fellow community members, neighbours, citizens. In doing so, we work in and through community, both strengthening and revealing the gifts within that we believe already exist. We just try to be a mirror to reflect the awesomeness that sometimes just needs a space to shine.

ItsRainingRaincoats Ltd.

ItsRainingRaincoats (IRR) is an initiative that aims to improve the lives of migrant workers in Singapore, by building bridges to strengthen their integration into our community, city and country. Our raincoat emblem symbolizes the protection we provide them from their metaphorical thunderstorms. We believe that improving the welfare of migrant workers will ultimately benefit the whole of Singapore and strengthen the cohesive social fabric of the broader community in Singapore. A well-treated workforce is healthy from a reputation perspective for Singapore and important as companies and shareholders around the world focus on diversity, inclusivity and equity standards. The objectives of IRR are: (a) to improve the welfare of migrant workers, including by providing them with services to help them (i) deal with situations of work-related and/or personal issues; and (ii) develop skills to ensure a harmonious and mutually beneficial employer-employee relationship; and (b) to integrate migrant workers into our broader community; (c) to build bridges for Singaporeans and Singapore residents to connect with migrant workers; (d) to take action and steps to benefit migrant workers, in the belief that improving the welfare of migrant workers will ultimately benefit the whole of Singapore, and strengthen the cohesive social fabric of the broader community in Singapore; and
