About the Centre for Applied Philanthropy (CAP)
CAP is a relatively new thought leadership and innovation hub within CFS. It seeks to support effective philanthropy through:
- Research, Strategy and Insights Providing insights through data and research: we collect and analyse data on philanthropy and unmet needs in Singapore to understand trends, emerging issues and measure impact.
- Collective Giving and Innovations in Philanthropy Collaborating with others to achieve meaningful social impact: we partner with other organisations in the philanthropic ecosystem to pool resources and expertise to achieve greater impact through collective funding programmes and community impact funds.
- Philanthropy Advisory: Offering tailored philanthropy advisory services to meet evolving donor needs and aspirations: we co-create impactful initiatives for select donors that tackle the root causes of complex socio-economic problems.
Role Overview:
The Business Manager will be a critical member of the CAP Team, reporting directly to the Senior Director. He/she will work across all CAP projects, as an overall project manager, to co-design, organize, support, guide and review various inside-of-CAP processes (business processes improvement, knowledge management, project management), as well as liaise with other CFS teams, such as Business Operations/Finance and Tech, to ensure effective and efficient administrative, project, reporting and grantmaking processes.
Key Responsibilities:
Operations Management
- Oversee and manage the daily operations of CAP, including scheduling and coordination and minute-taking, where necessary.
- Develop, implement and review policies and business processes based on industry best practices, to ensure effective and efficient functioning of CAP. This includes enabling grant-making for CAP projects and IT systems usage (eg NetSuite).

- Monitor and document the grant-making workflow processes, forms, templates, reports and data to assure full compliance with internal controls and legal requirements.
- Ensure all CAP team members are aware and knowledgeable of grants management processes and technology to the degree their functions require.
- Problem-solve complex grant scenarios; consult/liaise with finance and/or legal counsel.
Research, Strategy and Analysis
- As with all other members of CAP, the Business Manager will also remain abreast of current research, activities, best practices, innovation and trends in the philanthropic sector and Singapore’s Non-Profit sector, to provide informed inputs on the CAP’s activities and recommendations and support when needed.
Financial and Programme Evaluation
- Support senior team members to develop and manage the budget for CAP, ensuring financial sustainability.
- Design and prepare reports for internal and external stakeholders, showcasing achievements and impact.
Communications, Collaboration and Networking
