Gift A Haircut To A Child For The New Year
A haircut might not be significant in many of our views, but it can actually do wonders to the confidence and self esteem of someone who does not have much to get by, even for a regular change in hairstyle. As children will start preparing for the new school year soon, we advise donors who wish to help the children start the year on a good note to contribute to this gift.
Gifting.sg is honoured to support this campaign and would like to invite you to join us in empowering our children to start the new year right.

Year-End Care Packs for Incarcerated Fathers
Many persons nearing the end of their incarceration are at a lost when it comes to returning to society. Getting a job is a relatively minor issue, something more major here is their ties with family members and other loved ones. The Helping Hand will be organizing a year-end that improves bonds with incarcerated parents and their children. A care package that contains items useful for parents and children alike will be provided to them.
Gifting.sg is pleasured to be helping The Helping Hand in this area and would cordially invites every website visitor to join us in helping shape the next generation. This campaign is put together by an unprecedented 5 merchant-partners so while helping a good cause, you are #supportinglocal for 5 SMEs as well.

Gift A Toy To A Child With Cancer
For many children with cancer, happiness can be as simple as a little toy to pass time with. A commonly neglected group among fundraisers, children with cancer, and especially their family members and caregivers, could use a lot more support from us.
Gifting.sg is proud to enable this gift and would now like to invite you as a donor to ensure a young cancer patient can have a wonderful Christmas this year.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Gifting.sg? We are a social enterprise based in Singapore, which aims to present to you giving-back campaigns that make the most impact. You would have the same belief as us that giving cash to charities is a black hole, and purchasing items off the shelf means you have to pay retail price. We solve these two problems in donation by getting merchants to lower their prices for charity, just like what you see on this page.
Who exactly are you supporting and how do I know they are real? While our campaigns are focused around the causes, some users would want to know the exact beneficiary, who are, unfortunately, protected by confidentiality rules. We attempt to mention the charity organization taking care of them, though this is relatively limited as well, due to the fundraising approval process within most charities. However, we have and will always provide proof-of-doing, i.e. pictures with face censored of your gift reaching the beneficiary directly.
Are there tax deductions available? As this is not cash donations directly to an Institute of Public Character (IPC), no tax receipts will be able to be issued. However, that you are would that you believe in the power of gifting over giving. The reduced costs by the SMEs here (up to 70% savings) would mean that you are definitely better off buying a $3 item here than deducting $10 off your taxable income.
No Hidden Fees
This is a community initiative and we do not intend to profit from it. Any excess funds that we receive will be given back to the community via our current or future initiatives.
