Our Story

Project Gift of Song’s humble beginnings were born in end-2020. After witnessing how music united people amidst the pandemic, we started out as a small group of six who simply wanted to use music to do good for the community.

Serendipity led us to start harnessing our passion for music to serve the palliative care community: after seeing a news feature about Ambulance Wish Singapore (AWS), we decided to kickstart a fundraiser in support of their wish-granting efforts for terminally ill patients.

Since then, our journey has been one meandering along the path less trodden - one where we’ve followed our hearts, put ourselves out there, and seized any opportunities where we could contribute at the intersection of music and palliative care.

<aside> 🚀 Project Gift of Song’s mission is now two-fold:

1. Celebrating Life: To bring the comfort of music to the terminally ill;
2. Embracing Mortality: To use music to inspire conversations on end-of-life care, starting from our peers (the youth). </aside>

Our Flagship Initiatives

🎉 Celebrating Life: Musical Gift

Project Gift of Song’s mission revolves around leveraging music to reframe societal perceptions of death as a universal celebration of life. To this end, building on our past and current interactions with beneficiaries, we seek to co-create musical gifts with the terminally ill that would empower them to celebrate a life well-lived and leave a legacy for their loved ones.

Our approach is an asset-based one, synergizing the heartfelt wishes of beneficiaries with the varied skillsets that volunteers possess. (Read: musical knowledge is NOT a prerequisite) The gift can take any form of music, ranging from an original song to a curation of the beneficiary’s favourite music.

The musical gift will be completed in three parts - volunteers will be closely involved in one or more of these components:

• Regular conversations with beneficiaries to get to know them as individuals, their life stories, as well as their wishes;
• Creating (composing and/or producing) the musical gift in the backend
• Presenting the gift to the beneficiary together with loved ones, as a celebration of their life
