THE MARKET PLACE
Connecting People and Ideas
If you are a Non-profit Organisation (NPO) that has been in operation for five years and less, we invite you to be a part of The Market Place, a dedicated platform for NPOs to promote their causes, donation needs and volunteering opportunities to a highly targeted audience. 
What is The Market Place?
The Market Place is a platform connecting people and ideas. It comprises an exhibition for selected NPOs to promote their causes, donation and volunteering opportunities to Conference delegates. The Exchange, a platform within The Market Place, matches NPOs seeking donors and volunteers with corporations and grantmakers who wish to give in real time. 
Who should participate?
Non-profit Organisations that:
•  Are secular, non-political, non-profit and are registered in Singapore with ROS or ACRA;
•  Have been in operation for five years or less;
•  Have core programmes and services that serve the community needs in Singapore; and 
•  Have programmes and services that have a strong, sustainable component of volunteerism and/ or philanthropy. 
Why participate?
•  The exhibition provides NPOs with an opportunity to showcase their causes and needs to an expected target audience of over 600 delegates.
•  Short-listed NPOs will be given one free booth each, including provision of exhibition panels with organisation information, and donation needs and volunteering opportunities, design of which is subject to the organisers’ specifications.
•  Short-listed NPOs will receive free listings in the Corporate Kit, an information booklet on NPOs’ needs that will be distributed to all Conference delegates.
•  Networking opportunities with delegates from the public, private and people sectors, distinguished Conference speakers and panellists.
•  One Conference participation pass will be issued to each short-listed NPO so that NPO staff manning the booths will have the opportunity to attend the Conference during off-peak times; this privilege is restricted to one person at all times.
How are NPOs selected?
1.  The Market Place will showcase exhibitions by NPOs representing the six sectors (namely, Education, Health, Arts and Heritage, Sports, Social Services, Community and Youth) and those that report to the Commissioner of Charities.
2.  Selection will be on a first-come, first-served basis, and will be limited to one booth per sector. 
3.  If in the event that the organisers do not receive any interest from any one sector, the sector with the most applicants will be allocated more than one booth space.
4.  NVPC will liaise with the short-listed NPOs on the booth presentation of their donation needs and volunteering opportunities, as well as the programme for the two days. 
5.  The organisers reserve the right to seek more information and the decisions of the organisers shall be final.
