Non-Profit ERP for Singapore

Non-profit organizations in Singapore are registered as societies under the Societies Act, companies limited by guarantee under the Companies Act, or charitable trusts. Charities must register with the Commissioner of Charities under the Charities Act and comply with the Charities (Institutions of a Public Character) Regulations if they hold IPC status. IPC status allows donors to claim tax deductions of 250% on qualifying donations (reduced from the enhanced COVID-era rates). The Charity Portal managed by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth provides the submission platform for annual returns and financial statements.

Governance requirements follow the Code of Governance for Charities and IPCs, which sets expectations across board governance, conflict of interest management, strategic planning, financial management, and fundraising practices. The Governance Evaluation Checklist requires charities with annual receipts above 200,000 SGD to complete a self-assessment and disclose their compliance status. Enhanced tier requirements apply to charities with annual receipts above 10 million SGD.

Fundraising in Singapore requires a fundraising permit from the Commissioner of Charities for public appeals. The Charities (Fund-Raising Appeals for Local and Foreign Charitable Purposes) Regulations establish rules for appeal expenses, volunteer management, and reporting. Online fundraising through platforms like Giving.sg must comply with the fundraising regulations. The Personal Data Protection Act applies to donor data handling.
