The Pink Dot Tip Jar!
If you loved their performance, lend them a helping hand! Many of the performers were out of work during the circuit breaker period. Your contribution will go directly to them to tide them over these difficult times.
In 2017, 120 local companies stepped forward to support Pink Dot when 13 multinational companies were told they could no longer do so.
Since then, we’re calling upon even more companies and individuals from Singapore to join in. Be a part of the movement that’s helping our society progress to be more open, understanding and inclusive.

The annual Pink Dot rally has always been an event organised by Singaporeans for Singaporeans. As it grew in size and reputation over the years, corporate support for the movement also increased. 2016 Sponsors included Google, Facebook, Twitter, Barclays, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BP, Bloomberg, GE, NBCU, Apple, Microsoft, Visa and Clifford Chance.
But the rules governing the Speakers’ Corner were changed abruptly in 2016. These multi-national corporations found themselves no longer able to support such events at the Speakers’ Corner because they were not majority owned by Singaporeans. Fortunately, the Singapore Government at the same time also clarified that local companies — with a majority Singaporean ownership — were welcome to step forward to fill the vacuum left by these multinational sponsors.
In response, Darius Cheung (CEO of 99.co) initiated the Red Dot for Pink Dot campaign (“RD4PD), with the goal of bringing 100 Singaporean companies onboard as sponsors of Pink Dot 2017. That year, Corporate Singapore put forth a strong show of support the Red Dot for Pink Dot campaign and more than 120 companies signed up as sponsors, exceeding our expectations. Subsequent years were met with similar success, which shows that there are many Singaporeans and Singapore-owned companies that care about building an inclusive Singapore.
More than just a sponsorship drive for Pink Dot SG, this has grown into a platform for Singapore companies and business leaders across all industries to network, share best practices and lend their support towards inclusion and diversity in Singapore.
