The Code of Practice (the Code) was launched by the Commissioner of Charities (COC) in 2018. It is a set of best practices for crowdfunding platforms in Singapore to ensure a safer giving environment. Crowd-funding platforms are encouraged to adhere to the Code. The Code seeks to assure the legitimacy; accountability, and transparency of charitable fund-raising appeals hosted on these platforms.

The Code requires crowdfunding platforms to provide regular updates of funds collected while the appeal is ongoing, maintain proper records of donations received, provide clear explanations about how the donation process works as well as due diligence undertaken amongst others. While the Code is not mandatory, The Code provides an added layer of safeguards by empowering crowdfunding platforms to be trusted intermediaries for donors and beneficiaries.
