President's Volunteerism & Philanthropy Awards

The Pinnacle of Giving Excellence

Brief Introduction to PVPA

The President’s Volunteerism and Philanthropy Awards (PVPA) is the pinnacle award and platform to recognise individuals, organisations, leaders, and cross-sector partnerships that have achieved excellence in giving. These awards represent the highest honour for giving to the community and are conferred by the President of the Republic of Singapore. It is organised annually by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC), which is the steward of the City of Good vision, with support from the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY).

10 Years Of Recognising Excellence In Giving

What’s Unique About PVPA

Inclusive

PVPA awards are cause- and sector-agnostic, open to those who have contributed to any cause, whether it is the arts, sports, heritage, animal welfare, or even informal acts of giving.

Diverse

PVPA awards recognise givers across all life stages, from students to seniors, and across different organisational types—including small, mid-sized, and large enterprises, social enterprises, non-profit organisations and community groups that drive collective impact.

Recognising Partnerships

Building a City of Good is not the job of one, but the duty of many. Our awards have always honoured individuals and organisations that have galvanised others to do good with them. PVPA celebrates the importance of partnerships by spotlighting impactful cross-sector collaborations that drive lasting change.

What’s New in 2025

PVPA introduces a new pillar – the Communities of Good, to strengthen recognition of formal and informal groups, with the previous Non-Profit award split into Small & Medium and Large Charities, and a Groundup award introduced.

This brings the total number of awards to be conferred this year to 12, to recognise and celebrate individuals, organisations, leaders, communities, and cross-sector partnerships that have achieved excellence in giving.
