Singapore Charity Sector Texting for Transparency | Pro Bono Australia: "Singapore's charity regulator has introduced an SMS system to allow the public to check on the bona fides of a charity soliciting donations.
The Commissioner of Charities (COC), Low Puk Yeong recently introduced the system and detailed the service in his annual report to the Singapore Government this week.
Yeong says that to enable the public to continue to donate with confidence, the COC introduced an SMS service to allow members of the public to send a query via text message to check whether an organisation has a permit to solicit donations in public."
