Donation
Support DPA's Work
The Disabled People's Association (DPA) is Singapore's only independent cross-disability advocacy organisation that is led by and for persons with disabilities. Guided by the principle "Nothing About Us, Without Us," we work to ensure that persons with disabilities have a meaningful role in shaping the decisions that affect our lives.
Through advocacy, research, training and public education, we work towards a more inclusive and accessible Singapore.
DPA is a non-profit Social Service Agency (SSA) with IPC status, which means all donations made will be eligible for 250% tax relief. Although we do tap on some government grants, we rely mainly on donations from the public in order to carry on doing our work in an objective and independent manner. We weathered the Covid-19 pandemic, but like many other small SSAs, it impacted our ability to fundraise. We invite you to join our inclusive movement, support our efforts and make a personal contribution to the changes that DPA is bringing about.

A note on the Information DPA needs from donors to process donations and issue TDRS or NTDRS:
DPA only collects donor information that it is required to in order to properly record donations with our sector regulators and to issue TDR and NTDR receipts. We keep the information safe in accordance with the PDPA Act of 2021. If you would prefer not to provide the information we request, you can choose to make an anonymous donation.
The donation details you provide will be logged by us with the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) and the donation deductions will be included automatically in your individual tax assessment, or where applicable, your corporate tax assessment. You do not need a receipt in order to get your tax deduction. However, if you require it for other purposes, DPA will provide the receipt. Please note that the TDR and NTDR receipts can take up to a month to be issued and sent to you. For any clarifications, please email anusiah@dpa.org.sg.
Visit the IRAS website for more information on tax-deductible donations.
