文化、社区及青年部（Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth）所设立的基金，旨在为文化艺术慈善组织和公益机构提供一元对一元资助。

DEFINITION

Noun

A fund established by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) that aims to provide dollar-for-dollar matching grants for charity and public welfare organisations in the arts and heritage sector.

由来
  • 英语 “Cultural Matching Fund” 的意译。
  • 2013 年 11 月，文化、社区及青年部设立文化捐献配对基金，开放给文化艺术慈善组织和公益机构申请。
  • 在这一计划下，慈善机构所筹到的捐款，可得到政府一元对一元的拨款资助。
  • 文化捐献配对基金可促进私人机构与艺术团体的合作，并鼓励更多私人企业投入文化与艺术的赞助。
  • 慈善团体可按各自的需求使用配对基金的首新币 300,000 元款项，例如用来支付薪金、培训、租金等，但款项的使用必须符合慈善团体的条例。慈善团体若要使用首新币 300,000 元之后的款项，则必须向有关当局咨询具体可使用的项目。
  • 2015 年，政府将文化捐献配对基金的顶限从原先的新币一千万元提高至新币一千五百万元。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Mandarin term “文化捐献配对基金” is a paraphrase of the English term “Cultural Matching Fund”.
  • In November 2013, MCCY set up a matching fund for donations, open for application to charity and public welfare organisations in the arts and heritage sector.
  • Under this scheme, donations raised by charities can receive a dollar-for-dollar matching grant from the Government.
  • The Cultural Matching Fund promotes cooperation between private organisations and arts groups, encouraging more private enterprises to invest in arts and heritage sponsorship.
  • Charities can use the first S$300,000 of the matching grant according to their own needs, such as for disbursing salaries and fees for training and rental, but must comply with the charities’ regulations for the use of funds. If a charity wishes to use the funds after the first S$300,000, it must consult the relevant authorities regarding the specific items for which the funds can be used on.
  • In 2015, the Government increased the maximum limit of the matching fund for arts and heritage donations from the initial S$10 million to S$15 million.
 
例句
政府在 2013 年 11 月公布总额 2 亿元的文化捐献配对基金后，单是来自文化艺术领域的申请至今已达 1 亿元，显示私人领域越来越重视发展本地文化艺术。（《联合早报》，15/11/2015）
SAMPLE SENTENCE
After the Government announced the Cultural Matching Fund worth a total of $200 million in November 2013, applications from the arts and heritage sector alone have reached $100 million thus far. This indicates that the private sector is increasingly involved in the development of the local arts and heritage sector. (Lianhe Zaobao, 15/11/2015)
