The COC co-developed the Code of Practice for Online Charitable Fund-raising Appeals with the four major crowdfunding platforms in Singapore. The platforms are Give.Asia, Giving.sg, The Ray of Hope Initiative Limited and SimplyGiving. The Code of Practice is a set of best practices for crowdfunding platforms in Singapore, and these platforms need to ensure the legitimacy, accountability, and transparency of charitable appeals hosted on these platforms.
