NOTICE TO DONORS

Clarification on Flood Relief Fund Allocation (Fundraising Permit No. 0072/2025)

The Bible Society of Singapore (BSS) would like to provide a clarification regarding the allocation of donations received under Fundraising Permit No. 0072/2025.

The fundraising appeal was initially launched to provide humanitarian assistance to communities affected by the floods in Punjab, India. As further floods affected other countries in the region, BSS sought guidance from the Commissioner of Charities (CoC) and initiated the process of expanding our humanitarian response to include these additional affected communities.

However, due to an internal miscommunication regarding the status of the permit application, our fundraising appeals were updated to reflect the broader humanitarian relief efforts before the necessary approval process was completed.

Consequently, donations received under Permit No. 0072/2025 were subsequently allocated towards humanitarian flood relief efforts across the following five countries, rather than solely Punjab, India:

· India (including Punjab)

· Sri Lanka

· Bangladesh

· Pakistan

· The Philippines

In the interest of transparency and to avoid any ambiguity regarding the use of donations, BSS wishes to ensure that our donors are fully informed of this broader allocation.

This notice will be published on our website for a period of one month, from 11 November 2026 to 10 December 2026.

Donors who have any concerns or objections regarding the broader allocation of their donations are invited to contact us at missions@biblesociety.sg by 10 December 2026.

In the absence of any response within the one-month notice period, BSS will understand that the donor has no objection to the broader allocation of their contribution. No action is required from donors who are agreeable to this allocation.

We sincerely thank all our donors for their generosity, understanding and continued support. BSS remains committed to responsible stewardship, transparency and accountability in supporting communities affected by disasters.
