🧧  For the Obligated Wedding Guest  ·  Singapore IPC Charities

You're Going Anyway.

You confirmed 'yes'. You've already Googled the venue. You're mentally budgeting the ang bao. Before you stuff $388 into a red envelope — send one that also does some actual good.

A True Story. Probably.

Meet Sarah.

A colleague. A reluctant wedding guest. An unlikely hero.

How It Works

One ang bao. Part for the couple. Part for a cause they love.

🧧
1

You Pick an Amount

Choose your total (e.g. S$388), set the minimum charity split (e.g. S$200), pick an IPC charity, and pay via PayNow. Then send the couple a link — takes about 3 minutes.

The Couple Gets Both

They accept their personal portion (S$188) and the charity donation goes out in their name — unlocking 250% IRAS tax relief they didn't know they were getting.

3

You Become the Best Table

The couple shares a "Giving Aura" page with all their guests. Your table — yes, Table 19 — now includes the person who started something good at this wedding.

250%

Tax Deduction for Every Dollar Donated

All charities on Altru are Singapore IPC-registered. Donations made in the couple's name qualify for 2.5× tax deductions — the couple saves money on taxes while giving to a cause they love.

⚖️

The 95 / 5 Rule

For every dollar donated, 95% goes entirely to the charity. Altru's 5% platform fee is charged to the charity — never deducted from the donation amount. This is far below the 30% cap set by Singapore's Charities Act, and well below the industry norm for commercial fund-raisers. See how we compare →

Why 5% Matters: The Industry Comparison

Singapore's Charities Act permits commercial fund-raisers to retain up to 30% of funds raised as their fee. Many do. Altru is different by design.

Why the gap? Commission-based fundraisers are incentivised to maximise their own take. Altru operates as a non-profit platform — our fee covers technology, IRAS filing support, and operations only. We have no financial incentive to raise that number. Sources: Straits Times · Charities.gov.sg
