Charities and those with valid permits from the COC for donations to foreign charitable causes (i.e. Fund-Raising for Foreign Charitable Purposes (FRFCP) permit holders) will have to disclose on the Charity Portal (and if they wish, on their own websites) the following information, which will be made publicly available, at least 7 working days before the appeal commences:

  1. Purpose, duration and method of collection (i.e. street collection or house to house visit);

  2. Location(s) where the collection will be conducted;

  3. Contact number and email address that the charity/FRFCP permit holder can be reached at should the public require any clarifications on the collection; and

  4. Where a third-party fund-raiser is involved:

  • Name of third-party fund-raiser conducting the collection;

  • Percentage of the total gross receipts from the collection that is expected as payment for the expenses incurred for the conduct of the collection; and

  • Declaration by the charity or FRFCP permit holder that (A) a written agreement has been established with the third-party fund-raiser as required under the Regulations; and (B) the charity or FRFCP permit holder has conducted its due diligence and ascertained that the third-party fund-raiser is fit and proper.
