MCYS has set aside another $2 million for the Businesses for Families Grant. The grant provides funding to businesses that wish to put in place measures to welcome families as customers. The additional funds would be useful for businesses that wish to attract families. 'It signals the Government's ongoing commitment to help businesses create a pro-family environment for Singapore and reaffirms the Government's goal in making Singapore the best place for families and children,' said Mrs Mildred Tan, Businesses for Families Council Co-Chair.
Businesses can apply for funding support to help defray costs incurred in infrastructure, training and business consultancy to make their business more family-friendly. Since it was introduced in 2007, 30 businesses have received funding support under the grant. Promising news for Singapore that's help businesses be pro-family!
