But first…
Understand the responsibilities your organization has to undertake before proceeding.
If your organization has not undergone our onboarding process, please connect with using the button below.
By using the funding system, affiliated organizations are required to curate a minimum of 2 funded events per semester, or 1 funded event per quarter.
Red Dot Link is able to fund more curated events as organizations see fit.
1. Before the Event
Submit an proposal for the event that your organization wishes to be funded. Please send the proposal to us at least 2 weeks before the event to allow for evaluation and processing time.
The proposal does not have to be long, but must include the following:
Targeted number of attandees
Do not worry about providing an exact estimate, but a number around the ballpark will suffice. Please note that this would classify the event size, which is explained below.
Event purpose & overview
Please note, that proposed event should have some sort of connection towards Singapore and its general brand.
Cost breakdown
An item-by-item breakdown is not necessary, catergorical breakdowns would suffice.
2. Event Funding Evaluation
Red Dot Link (RDL) will determine the appropriate amount of event monetary subsidization based on two primary factors: size and purpose. We will working directly with the president of the organization, clarifying and requesting needed criteria if applicable.
Event sizes
Using the targeted number of attandees, Red Dot Link will classify the event into two sizes: small events and large events.
Small events
Minimum of 20 pax
Total maximum of $1,300 per small event (e.g. 100 attendees)
Large events
Minimum of 50 pax
Total maximum of $1,800 per large event (e.g. 100 attendees)
Event purposes
Depending on the purpose of the event, additional funding would be given as follows, regardless of event size:
Standard events
No additional benefits (i.e. regular get-together, mixer, lunch, etc)
Cultural Events
Culturally significant days (i.e. National Day, Lunar New Year, etc.)
Total maximum adjusted to $2,240 (e.g. 100 attendees)
Professional Events
Professional or business oriented events (i.e. fireside chat, speaker event, etc.)
Total maximum adjusted to $2800 (e.g. 100 attendees)
Receiving funding
After the appropriate funding amount for the event is determined, the organization will need to provide RDL with their Zelle account information so that the funds may be transferred over.
We will first disburse 60% of funds upon approval of event proposal. The subsequent 40% of funds will be disbursed after targeted number of attendee registration information has been received (explained below).
3. During the event
The organization must incorporate an event registration process for RDL sponsored events, as RDL will need access and collection of event registrant information. The number of registrants on the form must match or closely match the targeted number of attendees from the event proposal form.
As RDL requires that organizations use a very particular event registration form and set of questions for its sponsored events, a Google forms template can be copied here.
No, as the questions and answer choices on the form are exactly as it appears in the template given.
It’s up to you! Since the full event registrant information has to be shared with RDL within 1 week after the event happens, we recommend displaying the form during your event as a QR code, allowing participants to fill in their information at the time of the event.
Export the form responses as a Google Sheet and share it with RDL. Additionally, please add an additional attendance column in the final submission, detailing whether each registrant has “attended” or “registered only” for the event.
Please also share the link to the event registration form to RDL after the event.
4. After the event
If there are any media (photos, videos, etc) captured during the event, please be sure to share the appropriate media files with RDL. Event media should be shared within 1 week after the event takes place.
