OUR SIGNATURE EVENT

Every year, we dedicate an entire week of giving back to the community through our signature event, Sands for Singapore Charity Festival

Incepted in 2013, the multi-day festival serves to increase public awareness of Marina Bay Sands’ partner charities and raise funds for them through a series of meaningful events that utilise every facet of the integrated resort – from the retail mall, restaurants to the convention centre and museum. We invite social service organisations and social enterprises to deepen our Team Members’ understanding of the causes we support and how we can better give back to the community in our everyday lives.

Tapping on the talent and skill of our Team Members, we also provide opportunities for them to get involved in the festival through volunteer opportunities and charity challenges.

CSR-COMMITMENT-ARTS

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE ARTS

As part of our commitment to promoting and celebrating art and culture, Marina Bay Sands has established the Sands Innovative Arts Fund through a S$500,000 donation to National Art Council (NAC). Through this new fund, Marina Bay Sands aims to identify and nurture emerging talent and their efforts to leverage new technologies in artmaking and audience engagement.

Since opening, Marina Bay Sands has been a strong supporter of the arts, championing the creative spirit and providing a platform for artistic works to be accessible by a wider audience. One such display of this commitment lies in the Art Path programme, a specially-commissioned site-specific installation of 11 large-scale pieces of public art, such as the Rain Oculus and Wind Arbor by Ned Kahn and Drift by Antony Gormley. 

The Sands Innovative Arts Fund builds on one of our Sands Cares’ core priorities and supports the preservation and advancement of Singapore’s cultural and natural heritage through our unique resources.

Benefiting more than 100 Singaporean students passionate about hospitality or tourism-related courses, the bond-free scholarship will support various aspects of their educational expenses, including overseas immersion programmes from 2023.

With global tourism making a comeback, this programme builds on one of our Sands Cares’ core priorities and supports Singapore’s economic and tourism goals by investing in education to help youths find their footing in this burgeoning industry.
