Our motto is to help the visually impaired help themselves. There is always so much that the SAVH can do and much more needs to be done to serve the visually impaired community. Hence, we always appreciate the support from the members of the public and corporations. All donations will directly benefit our clients so that the visually handicapped can help themselves.
Direct Donation to SAVH
Cash donations via all mediums, including in person and post, are strongly discouraged. In case you come personally to SAVH to make cash donation, you must insist a donation receipt is issued to you. We encourage you to make donation by credit card with the Online Donation Form. You can use this link for monthly recurring donation Monthly Donation via Credit Card. The donation charge will be on the 25th of every month, any donation submitted on or after 25th will be charged on the following month. Do note there will be a $1 authorization charge, this will be refunded to your authorized credit card bank within 7 days depending on your bank’s policies. We thank you for your understanding.
Another common and easy way to donate is using PayNow/QR code.
For cheque payment, you can make the cheque payable to ‘Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped’ or ‘SAVH’ with your NRIC/FIN No. or Uen No. stated at the reverse side of the cheque and send your cheque to:
The Executive Director

Donations Under Wills
We also welcome donations in the form of bequests contained in Wills whereby the donation will only be given to us after your lifetime. Many of our benefactors have found that this is a good way to make a significant contribution to the visually handicapped cause and yet not affect their own lifestyle during their lifetime. You may be pleased to know that donations in this form are also fully exempt from estate duty. Your lawyer will be able to advise you in this regard, although we will be most happy to liaise with you or your lawyers for this purpose.
