Objectives of CDAC

Jointly set up by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCCI) and Singapore Federation of Chinese Clan Associations (SFCCA) in 1992, the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC) is a non-profit self-help group for the Chinese community.

CDAC offers programmes and assistance schemes to help the less privileged in the community to maximise their potential and strive for social mobility through self-help and mutual support.

Mission and Vision

Our Mission: “To nurture and develop the potential of the Chinese community in contributing to the continued success of multi-racial Singapore”

Our Vision: “Committed and Trusted Organisation, Empowered and Caring Community”

Programmes/Activities

In 2021, CDAC reached out to 17,700 lower income households through educational and development programmes, bursary and subsidy schemes for needy students, fulfilling ageing activities for seniors and financial assistance and employment support for families. Please refer to our Annual Report 2021 for more information on CDAC programmes and achievements.

In 2022, CDAC will continue to support students and families through broad-based programmes to help them strive for upward social mobility. At the same time, CDAC will also focus on deepening help for the more vulnerable families by providing holistic support to help them achieve self-reliance.

CDAC will continue to enhance its outreach and engagement efforts to uplift more families through more collaborative efforts with network partners and volunteers.

Governance

CDAC is committed to a high standard of compliance with accounting, financial reporting, internal controls, auditing requirements and all applicable laws. We have a whistle blowing policy in place to provide an avenue for employees and external parties to raise concerns and offer them an assurance that they will be protected from possible reprisals for whistle blowing in good faith.
