Looking to advocate a collaborative approach to meet community needs, Credit Suisse has come alongside NVPC and CFS to launch CoLABS.

As companies today find themselves caught between the dilemma of limited resources and the compelling desire to create social impact, it is increasingly apparent that the key lies in collective solutions.

Challenges facing our society are ever-changing and usually stem from multiple root causes. Therefore, systemic solutions for such issues need collective knowledge, resources and will.

Ms Melissa Kwee, CEO of National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre (NVPC), says: “Our current giving landscape tends towards fragmentation with sporadic and inconsistent efforts, and givers operating in silos. These make it difficult to assess and address the real needs within our community. It also fosters wastage and gaps in coverage.”
