To enable the charity sector to flourish, we adopt a robust yet balanced regulatory approach and work with various partners to help charities strengthen their capabilities and governance. We encourage co-regulation and a culture of transparency and accountability. This enables a safe giving environment where everyone can do a part in creating a caring society.
Members of the public can access the Charity Portal for latest news and developments in the charity sector. The portal provides a one-stop resource centre for the public who want to know more about charities in Singapore. It also provides a list of electronic services for charities to submit relevant applications and annual submissions.
