Grants for Co-operative Sector

This page lists the active grants for co-ops and individuals interested in the co-op sector.

Last updated 2 July 2026

Grants under CCF Grant Framework

The Central Co-operative Fund (CCF) can be used to further co-operative education, training, research, audit and for the general development of the co-operative movement in Singapore. The CCF supports the development and growth of our co-operatives through the provision of CCF grants.

Eligible co-operatives can apply and obtain grants under the CCF Grant Framework (“the Framework”). To ensure that the Framework can meet the evolving needs of co-operatives, the Singapore National Co-operative Federation (SNCF), as the CCF Secretariat, works closely with the Registry of Co-operative Societies to review grant policies from time to time.

Under the CCF Grant Framework, co-operatives can apply for the following grants (subject to applicable conditions):

  1. CCF Development Grant – to enhance co-operatives' capabilities, governance and operational efficiency;

  2. CCF Training Grant – to help co-operative officers gain knowledge and relevant skills;

  3. CCF Special Grants – to provide co-funding for specific schemes and projects;

  4. CCF Basic Support Grant – to assist co-operatives that are unable to meet standard grant eligibility criteria; and

  5. CCF Start-up Grant - to empower newly registered co-ops with essential funding to build strong foundations for growth.
