Become a Champion of Good by Supporting A Worthy Cause
As a recognised “Champion of Good” by the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre, INVADE, the organiser of ARTBOX Singapore, is dedicated to purpose-driven leadership and community impact. This is brought to life at ARTBOX CAMP 2026 through strategic collaborations with non-profits organisations to inspire visitors to do good.
Singapore Kindness Movement will be bringing together six special partners – Friendzone, Holdinghands Studio, Hay We Care, Be Kind Sg, Preschool Market, Happiness Initiative, each showcasing their own unique offerings to help raise funds for worthy causes. Other non-profit organisations like the National Kidney Foundation, The Red Pencil, M Makers and YWCA will also be sharing and inspiring collective goodwill among visitors through activities and interactive pop-up booths.
“Being invited by the Singapore Kindness Movement to be a part of ARTBOX this year means a lot to us, as kindness and connection have always been at the heart of what Friendzone does. We are excited to engage the community through meaningful experiences, from conversation card decks and shrinky dink keychains made with friends, to a letter station where strangers can leave something kind for one another.” said Tham, founder of Friendzone.
From 10 – 12 April, the Singapore Red Cross will also be setting up a mobile blood drive with complimentary limited edition Wiggle Wiggle duffle bags up for grabs for donors (while stocks lasts).
