- Fund community integration efforts to build greater empathy and inclusion for persons with disabilities.
"Children with special needs have latent potential waiting to be uncovered. This is only possible through exposing them to different activities at an early age, discovering what they enjoy and encouraging them to pick up new skills. It would be very helpful if families could tap the TODAY Enable Fund to enrol their children for sports, arts, or other programmes to realise their full potential." – Madam Wong Seok Fun, mother of two children with special needs

"Everyone has some abilities, and this includes people born with disabilities. The latter may have talents like painting, music, and so on, but if not properly developed, their potential will not be realised."
"While the main programmes are currently covered by the Government, there are still gaps, and this is where the fund can come in to give us the flexibility to help families in special areas." – Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong
