Philanthropy Forum<\/a> \u00b7 Published 11 September 2026 \u00b7 Updated 16 October 2026<\/p>\n<p>One organisation in Singapore has disbursed S$257 million in grants since 2008, and it is not the regulator. Confusing the body that holds the money with the body that oversees it is the most common mistake in Singapore giving.<\/p>\n<p>Philanthropy in Singapore runs through a few public bodies and a larger group of private foundations. Among the organisations people give through, the biggest by published figures are the <strong>Community Foundation of Singapore<\/strong>, which has raised over S$403 million and disbursed over S$257 million in grants since 2008, <strong>Temasek Trust<\/strong>, <strong>The Majurity Trust<\/strong>, whose funds have reached over 600,000 people here, and the <strong>National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre<\/strong>, which runs giving.sg and the Company of Good programme. The biggest single givers are private foundations, ranked further down.<\/p>\n<p>None of them is the regulator. That job sits with the Commissioner of Charities, and knowing the difference between the body that regulates giving and the bodies that hold the money is most of what separates confident giving from guesswork.<\/p>\n<p>One caveat before the list. Several large private foundations and single family offices give at considerable scale in Singapore without publishing comparable numbers, so any ranking by size is built only from what is disclosed.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>In short:<\/strong> Philanthropy in Singapore runs through a small set of institutions with clearly split jobs. The Commissioner of Charities registers charities and grants Institution of a Public Character status, which is what makes a donation deductible at 250%. The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth sets policy. The National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre builds the giving culture and publishes the research. The Community Foundation of Singapore and The Majurity Trust hold donor money and direct it. The Monetary Authority of Singapore runs a separate tax scheme for family offices giving overseas.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"the-list\">The main philanthropic organisations in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Eight bodies cover nearly all of it. The right-hand column is what each one publishes, because that is the only basis on which you can compare them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Organisation<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it does<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What it publishes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Commissioner of Charities<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The regulator.

Lien Foundation focus areas from its own website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the list with its exclusions in mind. Faith-based grantmakers and foundations funded mainly by the public or by government are left out by design, and a family foundation that publishes nothing cannot be counted at all, so some large givers are missing. If you are using it to find a funder, each foundation&#8217;s own website sets out whether and how it takes proposals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"intermediaries\">Where the money sits<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to give seriously in Singapore, you have three routes, and the order in which they are considered matters.<\/p>\n<p>You can give directly to a charity. You can set up your own foundation, which means a board, an auditor, filings and running costs. Or you can open a <strong>donor-advised fund<\/strong> at the <a href=\"https:\/\/cf.org.sg\">Community Foundation of Singapore<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.majurity.sg\">The Majurity Trust<\/a>, which lets you commit the money now, take the deduction now, and decide the recipients over the years that follow.<\/p>\n<p>The third route is the one people underuse. CFS is Singapore&#8217;s largest holder of these funds and holds IPC status itself, so the deduction is available on the way in. For most families giving under a few million dollars, the annual cost of running a private foundation eats more than the flexibility is worth.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"regulator\">A charity and an IPC are not the same thing<\/h2>\n<p>Every IPC is a charity. Only some charities are IPCs, and the gap catches people out constantly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bpf-vs\">\n<div>\n<h4>A registered charity<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Registered with the Commissioner of Charities<\/li>\n<li>May serve a narrow group, including its own membership<\/li>\n<li>Donations are <strong>not<\/strong> tax-deductible<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>An IPC<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>A charity the Commissioner has additionally approved to issue tax-deductible receipts<\/li>\n<li>Work must benefit the community in Singapore broadly<\/li>\n<li>Donations attract the <strong>250%<\/strong> deduction<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>An organisation serving only its own membership can be a legitimate, well-governed charity and never qualify as an IPC. If the tax treatment matters to you, check the status before you give, not in April when you are filing.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tax\">What the 250% deduction is worth<\/h2>\n<p>Give S$1,000 in cash to an approved IPC and S$2,500 comes off your taxable income. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iras.gov.sg\/taxes\/other-taxes\/charities\/donations-tax-deductions\">IRAS sets the rate at 2.5 times the amount donated<\/a>, it applies to individuals and companies alike, and Budget 2026 extended it for another three years, to 31 December 2029.<\/p>\n<p>Two points are worth clarifying. It is a deduction against income, not a refund, so what it is worth to you depends on your marginal rate. And it applies to cash given to an approved IPC or to the Singapore Government for local causes, which is why a donation to an overseas appeal usually gets you nothing.<\/p>\n<p>That last point is what the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mas.gov.sg\/schemes-and-initiatives\/philanthropy-tax-incentive-scheme-for-family-offices\">Philanthropy Tax Incentive Scheme<\/a> exists to fix, for one narrow group. Single family offices managing a fund under section 13O, 13OA or 13U can claim a 100% deduction on overseas donations, capped at 40% of statutory income, provided the money goes through a qualifying local intermediary. It is the clearest sign of how closely family office money and charitable money are now tied together here.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-to-check\">How to check an organisation before you give<\/h2>\n<p>Four checks, in this order, all free and all done from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charities.gov.sg\">Charity Portal<\/a> rather than the organisation&#8217;s own website.<\/p>\n<ol class=\"bpf-steps\">\n<li><b>Registration and IPC status<\/b>The portal shows both. The charity&#8217;s own site is not a source for this.<\/li>\n<li><b>The governance evaluation checklist<\/b>Filed annually. It tells you whether the board is doing its job.<\/li>\n<li><b>The annual report and accounts<\/b>Read the reserves position, not only the income.<\/li>\n<li><b>The fundraising efficiency ratio<\/b>Covered next, because it is the number most often read backwards.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A fifth check is worth making, and the portal will not answer it: who funds the organisation, and what does that funding allow it to say. <a href=\"https:\/\/bpforum.org\/chandran-nair-visionary-leader-and-advocate-for-a-purposeful-future\/\">Chandran Nair<\/a>, founder of the pan-Asian think tank Global Institute For Tomorrow, takes the strict version of this position and accepts money from neither corporations nor governments, on the view that independence is what makes the analysis worth reading. Most organisations cannot go that far and do not need to. But funding sources shape what an organisation is willing to criticise, and that is worth knowing before you give.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"thirty-seventy\">The 30\/70 rule, and how to read it<\/h2>\n<p>The Commissioner expects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charities.gov.sg\/Pages\/Fund-Raising\/Fund-Raisers-Duties-and-Obligations.aspx\">all charities and IPCs to keep their fundraising efficiency ratio below 30%<\/a>. No more than 30 cents of each dollar raised should go on the cost of raising it. That is the 30\/70 rule.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bpf-note\">\n<h4>How this number gets read backwards<\/h4>\n<p>A very low ratio can mean disciplined operations. It can also mean an organisation that stopped investing in fundraising years ago and now lives off three or four large relationships, which is a fragility rather than a strength. Read it alongside the annual report, and ask how concentrated the income is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"family-offices\">Why family office money changed the picture<\/h2>\n<p>Singapore&#8217;s growth as a family office base brought a different kind of donor into the room: one with staff, an investment committee, and the habit of asking what a dollar returns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bpforum.org\/purpose-driven-philanthropy-robert-rosen\/\">Robert Rosen<\/a>, former Director of Philanthropic Partnerships at the Gates Foundation, spent years working with families at that level through the Giving Pledge. He describes it as having grown into a peer-learning network, where families compared not only what to fund, in health, education and gender equality, but how to give effectively at all.<\/p>\n<p>The generational side of it is larger still. An estimated US$2.5 trillion is expected to pass to the younger generation of Asia&#8217;s wealthiest families over the coming decade, and the people inheriting it give differently from their parents: more measurement, more collaboration, and causes their families had left alone. We looked at that shift in <a href=\"https:\/\/bpforum.org\/blog\/next-generation-philanthropists-asia\/\">what next-generation philanthropists in Asia do differently<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What the money increasingly buys is not a grant but a partnership. <a href=\"https:\/\/bpforum.org\/partnerships-that-redefine-impact-in-asia\/\">Arnaud Quemin<\/a>, Mercy Corps&#8217; Vice President for Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe, works through alliances that put governments, private companies and philanthropic funders on the same problem. In riverine and coastal communities across Asia, that means the private sector supplying market access and skills while government supplies the policy that makes the work durable. His argument is that Asia&#8217;s largest problems, climate, inequality and human development, cannot be solved by any one sector alone. Singapore&#8217;s intermediaries increasingly exist to assemble exactly these arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>This is also why a family office and a traditional charity so often talk past each other. One is asking what the grant changes. The other is asking whether the rent is covered. Both questions are reasonable, and a good intermediary exists to translate between them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Questions about giving in Singapore<\/h2>\n<h3>What are the biggest philanthropic organisations in Singapore?<\/h3>\n<p>By grants given in a year, the largest private foundation in a January 2025 ranking was the Low Tuck Kwong Foundation, at S$127.6 million, followed by the Lee Foundation and The Ngee Ann Kongsi. Among organisations that hold donors&#8217; money, the Community Foundation of Singapore is the largest, with over S$403 million raised and over S$257 million granted since 2008. The National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre is the national agency for giving, and the Commissioner of Charities regulates charities. Several family offices give at scale without publishing figures, so any ranking only reflects what is disclosed.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the 30\/70 rule for charities in Singapore?<\/h3>\n<p>Charities and IPCs are expected to keep fundraising expenses below 30% of the funds they raise, leaving at least 70% for the cause. The Commissioner of Charities publishes it as the fundraising efficiency ratio.<\/p>\n<h3>Is philanthropy a charity?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Charity is usually a direct response to an immediate need. Philanthropy is a longer commitment aimed at the conditions that produce the need. Funding a food drive is charity. Funding a decade of work on food security is philanthropy. Both matter and neither replaces the other.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between charity and philanthropy?<\/h3>\n<p>Timeframe and intent. Charity relieves a need now and is judged on whether it reached someone. Philanthropy is structured, usually multi-year, and is judged on whether a defined problem got smaller. In practice the difference shows up in how the money is committed: a one-off cheque against a three-year grant with reporting attached.<\/p>\n<h3>What are examples of philanthropy today?<\/h3>\n<p>In Singapore: a donor-advised fund at a community foundation making multi-year grants, a family office funding education programmes through a qualifying intermediary, a company seconding skilled staff to an IPC, or a collective fund where several families pool money against one problem. The common thread is that the money is committed against an outcome rather than an appeal.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the downsides of philanthropy?<\/h3>\n<p>Three worth naming. It concentrates decisions about public problems in private hands, with no vote attached. It can pull a charity&#8217;s priorities toward whatever funders currently find interesting. And multi-year restricted grants can leave an organisation unable to pay for the staff and systems that make the funded work possible. The usual corrective is unrestricted funding and longer commitments.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"starting\">If you are giving in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Three decisions, in order. Decide whether you are relieving a need now or trying to change something over a decade, because that single choice drives everything after it. Confirm IPC status on the Charity Portal before you commit, so the tax treatment is not a surprise later. And if the sum is significant but you do not want the overhead of your own foundation, look at a donor-advised fund at the Community Foundation of Singapore or The Majurity Trust before you incorporate anything.<\/p>\n<p>For how families across the region structure this, see <a href=\"https:\/\/bpforum.org\/blog\/family-philanthropy-in-asia\/\">family philanthropy in Asia<\/a>.
