Social service agencies are non-profit organisations dedicated to serving the community. These agencies are typically established as societies, companies limited by guarantee, or trusts.
For guidance on setting up and registering a social service agency, along with an explanation of the differences between these three legal structures (Society/ Company Limited by Guarantee/ Trust), please refer to Pro Bono SG.
Charities are not-for-profit organisations established exclusively for charitable purposes. They undertake activities to achieve these goals, benefiting the public.
Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) are charitable organisations that are either exempt or registered. They have the privilege of issuing tax-deductible receipts for qualifying donations to their donors.
For further information on establishing Charities and IPCs, please consult the Charity Portal.
Let's work together to build a compassionate community that benefits everyone.
