IPC status, or "Institutions of a Public Character" status, is a significant recognition bestowed upon charitable organisations like Food from the Heart.
Being an IPC means that we are an exempt or registered charity capable of issuing tax-deductible receipts to donors for qualifying donations. This allows donors to enjoy a charity tax deduction of 2.5 times the amount donated, making their contributions even more impactful.
As an IPC-status food charity in Singapore, we are held to a higher standard, ensuring that our activities benefit the entire community in Singapore and are not limited to sectional interests or specific groups based on race, creed, belief, or religion.
Our IPC status also highlights our commitment to transparency, accountability, and making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.
