Abstract
Lien Foundation was the first grant-giving organisation in Singapore to professionalise. This case study briefly traces the growth and development of the Singapore-based foundation and it provides an example of how philanthropy can be an effectual process rather than a causation process. Taking the example of a specific project in the area of eldercare, the case study demonstrates how philanthropy can be conducted innovatively. The approach undertaken by the foundation has benefited the eldercare sector in Singapore beyond pecuniary terms, as traditionally achieved by philanthropists.
