The Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKYSPP) is among the world's premier resources for public policy education and research. The generosity of alumni and friends who understand and believe in our mission enables LKYSPP to address unprecedented global challenges and advance the frontiers of knowledge.

A gift to LKYSPP is an investment in a better future, because what the School achieves, it gives to the world. Every gift to LKYSPP, no matter its size, makes a difference. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are able to fill our lecture theatres with the next generation of Asian policymakers and leaders, bring in the best faculty into our academic offices and maintain our campus to the highest standards. The School looks forward to playing a part in improving the standards of governance and public policy in Asia. With your commitment we will be able to realise our mission to inspire leaders, improve lives and transform Asia.

LKYSPP welcomes unrestricted support through the Dean’s Fund and endowed or current-use commitments for student Scholarships and Awards.

Why give?

Double Tax Exemption

Gifts from Singapore tax residents attract a double tax exemption. This means that for every $1 you contribute, you enjoy a tax deduction of $2 from the IRAS. IRAS allows you to carry forward any unutilized deductions for up to five years.

If you are a US tax resident, you can support and make a significant impact on NUS by contacting the “NUS America Foundation Inc.”, a charitable organisation with tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) status under US law.

If you are not a Singapore tax resident, you are encouraged to investigate your individual country’s tax exemption laws to determine whether you qualify for tax exemption.

Dollar-For-Dollar Government Matching

Your gift will double in value right at the onset. It will attract a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Government that goes into the School’s Endowment Fund, which provides support to the School in perpetuity.

Recognition

To honor and express appreciation to the donor, appropriate recognition will be given to the donor on our website, publications and press releases.

Naming Opportunities

To recognise the generosity of our donors, the School offers multiple naming opportunities and recognition. This name will appear in all of the School’s collaterals. Please contact us for the list of naming opportunities available.

Ways of Giving

You can write a cheque, charge your gift using our online giving form by credit card or through GIRO, show your support in the form of securities such as stocks, bonds, unit trust and real estates.

Making a planned gift may allow you to give more than you ever thought possible and, at the same time, benefit from tax advantages or income for life. Planned gift options include bequests, annuities, and retained life estates.
