At World Vision, we consider every donation a sacred trust. Therefore, as part of our stewardship, we optimise the funds, resources and distribute them to where they are needed most in the communities we are helping. We carefully monitor and review our programmes and costs periodically, making sure the funds are achieving the highest possible impact in the lives of the children and families. For financial accountability, we are audited by external and independent auditors, KPMG Singapore for the Singapore office.

A maximum 20% of the S$50 is allocated for communication, public education and administrative costs. The remainder of your contribution is then allocated according to the needs of the community where your sponsored child is from. Some of the aspects that determine the use of the sponsorship contribution are ready infrastructure, traditions and culture, natural resources, and a community’s development phase. Depending on the level of necessity and development chronology, funds will be channelled to develop each area at varying amounts and at different stages.

No, all donations to World Vision Singapore are non-tax-deductible. World Vision is registered as a foreign charity with the Commissioner of Charities. The policy set by the Singapore Government requires that only gifts or donations to local charities with IPC* status are entitled to tax-deductions. (*Institution of Public Character)
