"The National Kidney Foundation Singapore is a non-profit health organisation in Singapore. Its mission is to render services to kidney patients, encourage and promote renal research"
Wah...

I didn't know that.. because i know someone who is the bosses of a non profit organisation..

Keep ask us to donate.. or go his warehouse etc do free labour for the sake of charity and helping the poor..

Then i find out he driving big cars which initially i tot he is a ASK.

Later find out he is not ASK but after opening such organisations, he become rich

How come non profit organisation asking everyone for donations and contributions.. but the bosses can drive big car and own big houses?

this is what gemini says. Sometimes.. please google ..before asking questions. But I didnt fact check. so you need to go fact check. hehe
As mentioned, 100% of direct public donations to ComChest go towards supporting critical social service programs. This is possible because ComChest's fundraising and operating costs, including the wages of its staff, are primarily covered by the Tote Board.


The Tote Board is a statutory board of the Ministry of Finance in Singapore that oversees the gaming sector (Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club). A portion of the surplus from these operations is channeled by the Tote Board to fund various worthy causes, including the operating expenses of ComChest.

The best part is actual work all done by volunteers.
The ones getting salaries delegate and use eye power to get things done and hit their kpi.
End of financial year, get another big “cake” from the ministry, Wipe the saliva from their lips and start to plan their next Japan holiday………

:ROFLMAO:
NKF scandal, involving CEO T.T. Durai, highlighted the need for strong governance, transparent financial reporting, and ethical conduct in non-profit organisations.…..The lessons learned include the importance of disclosing conflicts of interest, ensuring internal audits are effective, and avoiding excessive compensation and inappropriate use of funds.
the group of people usually get away or get little to non oversight from the gov as long as their meet the min requirement rules get by the gov as usually they are connect to the upon level of the elite due to the fact that elite alway wanted to be seen connected to charity event and work.

Charitable organizations. 1% of the donations goes to the actual cause. 99% covers operational costs like paying leeches.

One reason why I don't do regular donations these days. I don't know who I am helping. The employees or the supposedly recipients. :(

There is a degree for Social work.
Wanting to help the society doesn't mean the social worker should not get paid or get shitty allowance.

Everyone's expectation of "reasonable pay" is different.
One good way is to ask how many % is used for admin before donating. They have such figures available.
Anything above 80% is quite good.

Want say but dun say which NPO so how to discuss?

If it is me, I will make sure I am financially ok before I go full time into NGO/ NPO/ charity work.

So you will have a number of top guys in such organisations who are already rich or are generating income from their other businesses/ investments.

As for professional managers, if you are the board directors of, say, NKF, with > $150M annual income and > $150M annual expenditure and > $400M assets, won't you want to leave the top jobs for qualified people?

And how do you value such people vs their remuneration?

Eg Edwin Tong brought in Taylor Swift and generated over $500M in economic activities from 6 nights of her concerts.

That's like what 10 SME factories would generate in 1 year. And these SME factories produce things for export (no GST) and their towkays will hire and put zbl family members and relatives on their payroll (and pay very minimal corporate income taxes). Meanwhile the $500M over 6 nights are largely taxable with more than 50% of the money earned coming from foreigners.

How do you value good decisions and the successful execution of such good decisions?
