    Temasek Trust & its Ecosystem 

    1. How are Temasek, Temasek Trust, and Temasek Foundation connected?
      Temasek is a global investment company headquartered in Singapore. Since 2003, it has been setting aside a portion of its excess returns above its cost of capital for community gifts. These are approved by its Board before being donated to Temasek Trust and other non-profits to achieve its community objectives of Connecting People, Uplifting Communities, Protecting the Planet, and Advancing Capabilities (“CUPA”).

      In 2007, Temasek set up Temasek Trust to manage and disburse endowment funds and Temasek Foundation to develop and deliver community programmes. This governance model, still in place today, separates financial management from programme design and delivery. The skills required for both are very different.

      Temasek Trust has been the primary beneficiary of Temasek’s gifts and disburses grants to be developed and delivered by its ecosystem entities, including Temasek Foundation.

      Temasek Trust and Temasek Foundation are independent and separate from Temasek, with their own boards and management teams. Temasek does not direct their day-to-day operations.


    2. What makes up the Temasek Trust ecosystem?
      The Temasek Trust ecosystem can be grouped in three clusters with capabilities in Asset and Investment Management (AIM), Philanthropy and Impact (PI), and Socio-Economic Enterprise & Development (SEED). The ecosystem is united by a shared purpose of building better for every generation through advancing the 4Ps of Planet, People, Peace, and Progress. This is underpinned by the 5th P of Partnerships as we work with like-minded partners to scale our collective positive impact.
