Q: Why does CCF need to keep reserves?
A: Reserves enable CCF to continue serving the families at the current level of intensity, uninterrupted, for the next two years. We also ensure that our reserves are kept below three years' of operating expenses so that we can help as many families as possible.
Q: Who can I contact with regards to fund raising?
A: You can contact the Executive, Sponsorships at admin@ccf.org.sg or call us at 6835 6464.
Q: Do I get a tax-exempt receipt for my donations?
A: For outright cash donations a tax-exempt receipt will be issued. As announced in Budget 2002, all cash donations to charitable organisations will be granted double tax deductions. This means that for every $1 a tax-payer gives to charity, he can have $2 deducted from his taxable income.

This is applicable for all personal and corporate donations.

Please provide full name, address and NRIC or ROC for us to send you a tax-exempt receipt.
Q: Are you a member of National Council of Social Services?
A: We are a member of National Council of Social Services (NCSS). However we are not under the fund raising arm of NCSS - Community Chest of Singapore. We raise our funds independently but NCSS does refer potential sponsors to us.
