Temasek Holdings

Backs companies as Singapore sovereign investor while separate Temasek Foundation channels handle explicit grant activity.

Temasek Holdings is a Singapore government-owned global investment company with a portfolio valued at S$434 billion across more than 30 countries. It was founded in 1974 and operates as a generational investor deploying equity capital into companies — it does not issue grants, run open calls, or provide non-dilutive funding to external parties.

Philanthropic and community-focused activity under the Temasek brand is delivered exclusively through Temasek Foundation (temasekfoundation.org.sg), a legally separate entity funded by endowments from Temasek. Temasek Foundation operates its own grant programmes (e.g. Liveability & Sustainability Innovations Grant Call, OSCAR Fund) and should be catalogued as a distinct funder. Temasek Trust is a further umbrella entity referenced in brand narrative.
