What is pledge donation?

A pledge donation on giving.sg is a commitment to donate at a later date, rather than making an immediate payment.

Typically, it works like this:

• The donor makes a pledge by indicating the amount they intend to donate to a campaign.
• No payment is collected at the time of the pledge.
• The fundraiser or organisation may follow up with the donor later to collect the donation or remind them to fulfil their pledge.
• A pledge is only considered a completed donation once the donor makes the actual payment.

Are tax deductions issued for pledges?

No. Tax deductions (where applicable) are only issued after the donation has been successfully paid and processed, not when the pledge is made.

Will a pledge appear as a donation?

A pledge may be recorded separately as a commitment, but it is not treated as a completed donation until payment has been received.
