Singapore has put serious money behind digitalisation and AI adoption — for charities, SMEs, and enterprises. This page is our plain-English map of the schemes that matter, with every figure checked against the official source it came from.
General information, not advice. Eligibility and approval rest entirely with the administering agencies — see the sources and disclaimer below.
The short answer: yes — for once, the money is looking for you. In 2026, eligible Singapore social service agencies can have up to 80% of a digital project co-funded through the NCSS Transformation Sustainability Scheme — with CRM systems named on the supported list — while companies can draw on the expanded Productivity Solutions Grant, the S$150 million Enterprise Compute Initiative, and 400% tax deductions on qualifying AI spend under the Enterprise Innovation Scheme.
Two taps, and we'll point you at the scheme worth reading first.
An indicative pointer, not advice — eligibility and approval are decided entirely by the administering agency. Figures as published at the official source, June 2026.
Which grant fits which organisation, in one breath: a Singapore charity or social service agency adopting a CRM or building a digital tool looks first at the NCSS Transformation Sustainability Scheme (previously Tech-and-GO!), which co-funds up to 80% of an eligible project. An SME adopting a pre-approved digital or AI solution looks at the Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG). A company bringing AI into how it works looks at the Enterprise Compute Initiative and the Enterprise Innovation Scheme. Figures and eligibility are set by the administering agencies and checked against the official sources below (June 2026) — they decide every outcome, not us.
The social sector has the most generous digitalisation support in Singapore — and CRM systems are named on the supported list.
NCSS's umbrella support for organisational transformation, including digitalisation. Three components matter for technology projects: consultancy and implementation support (Part A), bespoke digitalisation projects (Part B), and pre-scoped solutions (Part C).
NCSS lists Part C supported solution types as “HR management systems, account management systems, event booking platforms, CRM systems, or API integrations” — and Part B examples include custom web portals and AI chatbots.1

Considering a CRM? Start with our guide on choosing a CRM for your charity in Singapore. Our own product for the sector is Socianote — a CRM built for nonprofits, in exactly the category NCSS lists under pre-scoped solutions. Whether a given application is funded is always NCSS's call, not ours.
Budget 2026 made AI adoption a national priority. Three schemes do the heavy lifting.
For companies ready to build a real AI solution. Participants get cloud credits, training and AI tools from partner cloud providers, plus subsidised consultancy for AI strategy, technical implementation, and change management — typically toward a working MVP.

Budget 2026 will “expand the scheme to include AI expenditures as a qualifying activity, for the Years of Assessment 2027 and 2028, capped at $50,000 per Year of Assessment.”3
In practice: a meaningful slice of what you spend building or adopting AI can come back through your tax bill. Confirm what qualifies with your tax adviser.

“Expanded to support more digital and AI-enabled solutions, so that every firm, regardless of size, can access tools that help them work smarter and compete better.”4
The PSG funds adoption of pre-scoped solutions from approved vendors. Budget 2026 also announced Champions of AI, a new programme to “back leading companies with the ambition to use AI to transform their businesses comprehensively.”4

Agencies fund clear outcomes — a working system, a measurable gain — not vague "AI transformation". A tightly scoped MVP with a named user group beats a big-bang platform every time.
Most schemes cover a percentage, not everything. Budget for your share — and for the hours your own team will put in.
Applications want quotations, scopes, and outcome measures up front. A vendor who scopes the project with the application in mind saves you weeks.
GoodTechHoldings builds software — Socianote for the social sector, and custom builds including AI features, internal tools, and mobile apps. When a project may align with a funding scheme, we scope it the way agencies like to see it: clear deliverables, measurable outcomes, and documentation you can attach to an application.
We're not grant consultants and we don't process applications for you — but we'll tell you plainly which scheme looks relevant, link you to the official source, and structure the engagement so the paperwork is light.
Funding support may be available through the NCSS Transformation Sustainability Scheme (previously funded through Tech-and-GO!). NCSS lists CRM systems among supported pre-scoped solution types, with co-funding of up to 80% and published caps per component. Eligibility and approval are determined by NCSS, and applications are made through the OurSG Grants portal.
Budget 2026 expanded the Productivity Solutions Grant to support more digital and AI-enabled solutions, and expanded the Enterprise Innovation Scheme so qualifying AI expenditure attracts 400% tax deductions, capped at S$50,000 per Year of Assessment for YA2027 and YA2028. Separately, the Enterprise Compute Initiative set aside up to S$150 million for cloud credits, AI tools and subsidised consultancy. Each scheme has its own eligibility criteria set by the administering agency.
They serve different organisations. The PSG supports companies and SMEs adopting pre-approved digital and AI-enabled solutions, administered by Enterprise Singapore through the Business Grants Portal on GoBusiness. The Transformation Sustainability Scheme (TSS), previously funded through Tech-and-GO!, supports NCSS member and MSF-funded social service agencies, administered by NCSS through the OurSG Grants portal. Eligibility and approval for each are decided solely by the administering agency.
According to NCSS, agencies need a valid Organisational Health Framework for Social Services (OHFSS) assessment, and projects that are not pre-scoped require organisational health diagnostics first. These requirements are set and assessed by NCSS, so confirm the current criteria on the official NCSS page before applying.
No. Grant eligibility and approval are decided solely by the administering government agencies. We help organisations scope projects with funding criteria in mind and point them to the right official resources, but we cannot and do not guarantee any funding outcome.
Social service agencies apply for NCSS schemes via the OurSG Grants portal. Companies apply for the Productivity Solutions Grant via the Business Grants Portal on GoBusiness. Enterprise Compute Initiative applications are made through Digital Industry Singapore. Always start from the official agency websites.
