Singapore Charities & IPC Directory

Search Singapore's official Charity Portal in bulk and export structured records — charity name, UEN, charity status, IPC status & validity, primary sector, classification, activities and registration dates — as clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Verify whether an organisation is a currently-approved IPC, or pull the entire directory (~3,200 charities) for lead generation and compliance. No key, no login.

Great for donor & giving platforms, grant makers, compliance/KYC teams, and researchers.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Singapore's official Charity Portal public search (charities.gov.sg).

What does isCurrentIPC mean? The organisation has IPC status and its IPC period covers today — i.e. donations are currently tax-deductible.

Can I get every charity? Yes — leave query empty and set a high maxItems; the Actor pages through the full directory.

How does billing work? A tiny per-request charge plus pay per charity returned.

Can I connect this to other apps? The Singapore Charities & IPC Directory can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
