Giving to the RSIS Endowment Fund

RSIS is a leading research think tank in Asia. It is among 75 nominated as one of the leading think tanks in the world in the 2010 Global Go To Think Tank Rankings done by the University of Pennsylvania. RSIS also runs post-graduate programmes that have attracted students from more than 50 countries around the world.

RSIS’ achievements in research have been possible only because of donations from supporters such as the Singapore Totalisator Board, Bakrie Center Foundation, Ngee Ann Kongsi, Lee Foundation, Temasek Foundation, Ford Foundation, Sasakawa Peace Foundation, and from philanthropists such as Mr. Lee Seng Tee. Without their generosity, we would not have come so far in such a short time.

I would like to appeal to friends, associates, students and alumni of RSIS to join our supporters in contributing to the RSIS Endowment Fund. Your contributions, in whatever amount, would further enhance the reputation of RSIS as a leading research and teaching institution in the Asia Pacific. More specifically, they would enable RSIS to engage world class faculty and research staff, create endowed professorships, and to provide scholarships for talented students. Living up to your generosity would be a major responsibility, but a challenge which we are more than happy to meet.

Please note that Singapore residents will enjoy 200% tax deductibility for gifts made between now and 31 December 2011. For your convenience you may contribute to the RSIS Endowment Fund here. To find out more, please contact Ms Cindy Goh at iscindygoh@ntu.edu.sg or 6790 5975.

We look forward to your support.
