NVPC Reply: Charities Selling Greeting Cards

On 3 November 2008, I asked the NVPC for a comprehensive list of charities that sell festive greeting cards to raise funds for their work. This is the reply I got. I thank the NVPC for its reply.

Charities Selling Greeting Cards

LETTER SENT TO HONORARY LEGAL ADVISER AND BOARD MEMBER OF NATIONAL VOLUNTEER & PHILANTHROPY CENTRE ON 3 NOVEMBER 2008

Every year, a number of charities in Singapore sell festive greeting cards to raise funds for their work.

Can the NVPC provide a comprehensive list of charities doing so and who members of the public can contact for possible purchases?

Ideally, the list can include prices of the cards. It will also be preferable if information can be provided about whether customisation of the cards are available for specific persons.

Also, can the NVPC clarify if such purchases from charities qualify for tax exemption purposes?

I hope the NVPC will be proactive and forthcoming with such information as it fits directly with its mission "to promote and develop volunteerism and philanthropy across all sectors and at all levels of society".

Thank you.

Happiness,
Dharmendra Yadav
