OUR PHILANTHROPIC MISSION – CREATING A RIPPLE EFFECT FOR GENERATIONS
A passion for people resides at the core of Charles Monat Associates’ DNA, which drives us in our mission to create a lasting impact every day. We have a responsibility to give back to society, and through our philanthropic endeavors, we are committed to making a difference by improving lives and leaving a positive impression on the world.
Our mission is clear – to help our clients plan for their future, while helping to establish a more sustainable society for the next generation. We believe this begins with children, and by creating lasting, systemic change to improve their lives and living conditions.
At Charles Monat Associates, leaving a legacy is about more than just passing on wealth, it is the values you inspire in others to create meaningful change that can be passed down from generation to generation. If a droplet of water can create a ripple effect, then a single act of kindness can have a far-reaching impact across the globe.
We are encouraged to share our dedication and our story, because together we believe this can inspire others to create a secure tomorrow.

SAVE THE CHILDREN - CREATING A LASTING IMPACT
Based on shared values and a belief that every child deserves a future, Charles Monat Associates has partnered with Save the Children, a leading humanitarian organization that champions the rights and interests of children worldwide.
Our role was inspired by the central tenant of our business – legacy planning – and a desire to extend it to the vulnerable families to create a more prosperous and sustainable future for generations to come. It is our commitment to drive true transformation and long-lasting change.
We are incredibly grateful that Charles Monat Associates is supporting Save the Children’s commitment to end childhood pneumonia, which kills a child every 39 seconds globally. Our projects spanning across Indonesia and China will help save lives, preventing and treating pneumonia in children who live in underserved communities – because every child deserves a healthy start in life."
Our landmark partnership with Charles Monat Associates is the most significant of any Singapore-based firm to date and we are thrilled that CMA is supporting our work in Asia to help children win the battle against pneumonia.”
Pneumonia kills more than 2 children every hour in Indonesia. We also know that children can be successfully treated for pneumonia if they are correctly diagnosed and have access to health care facilities, trained staff and low-cost antibiotics. We welcome Charles Monat’s partnership and support to prevent and treat pneumonia in children who live in underserved communities here in Indonesia – and help provide them with a more secure tomorrow"
COMBATTING PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia is the number 1 infectious cause of preventable child deaths, claiming the lives of more than 800,000 children a year. Together with Charles Monat Associates’ numerous charitable partnerships, we have the power to change this and save millions of lives.
Our journey with Save the Children has just begun, but it will see us combine our efforts, knowledge and resources to help end childhood pneumonia and improve the lives of millions of children starting from Indonesia and China.
Through significant investments in healthcare, sanitation, clean water, and other basic amenities, Charles Monat Associates aims to combat this global health crisis and create a more sustainable environment for our children.
