DPA’s work is a collaboration between our donors, partners and volunteers. We invite you to be part of the journey towards making Singapore an inclusive society we can all be proud of.

In the lead-up to International Day of Persons with Disabilities, DPA Celebrates! is set to be our largest fundraising initiative yet, featuring an array of interactive activities for the entire community. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the importance of disability inclusion while offering a unique educational experience. Participants will embark on a journey that explores the life of a person with disabilities, fostering a charitable spirit among Singaporeans from all walks of life, and promoting compassion and care for the disability community.

Our outreach efforts will target schools, community and companies to rally support and build awareness. We will extend our popular “Step Up Step Out” (SUSO) virtual walk, encouraging people with and without disabilities to engage in physical exercise and mental wellness, and to step up for inclusion.

DPA Celebrates! will also highlight our charity’s collective impact and outline our future plans. The campaign will culminate in a Charity Gala Dinner in January, where we will thank our volunteers, partners, and supporters. The event will feature unique experiential activities, providing insight into the challenges faced by persons with disabilities.

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 [email protected].
