With the large number of social service agencies registered in Singapore, you should choose the social service agency that is right for you. Take time to find an agency that does good work in a field that is important to you, whether it serves disadvantaged children or families, the seniors in need, or people with disabilities.
If you have questions on whether the agency soliciting for your donations is authorised, request for written information that includes their mission and what they do. Your favourite social service agency should be able to provide certain information upon request, including
-
Financial statements that have been audited by an independent accountant
-
An annual report / activity report that includes a list of the board of directors; the audited financial statements or comprehensive summary, and a description of services they provide
-
A statement of functional expenses, explaining expenditure details such as rent, postage, salaries, fundraising, management and general expenses
-
A projected budget for the coming year
