“Tzu Chi” (慈济 cí jì), which means “compassionate relief” in Chinese, is an international NGO that has provided humanitarian aid to the needy in over 90 nations worldwide, regardless of race and religion. The Buddhist spirit of loving-kindness and compassion is at the core of our work and Missions.

Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation (Singapore) is proposing a merger of the Local Relief Fund and General Fund, which will take effect from 1st January 2019, once all, if not the majority of, the donors’ consents are obtained. The new fund will be known as Charity Development Fund, which shall encompass the purposes of both the Local Relief Fund and General Fund. You may find more information at https://fundmerger.tzuchi.org.sg/.
Please be noted that consent is deemed to be obtained if we do not hear from our donors by 31 December 2018. And donations from 1st September 2018 onwards are deemed to be made with the donors' awareness about the funds merger and their consent to it.
Except the annual Flag Day on 27 October 2018, Buddhist Compassion Relief Tzu Chi Foundation (Singapore) and Buddhist Tzu Chi Merit Organization (Singapore) Ltd. are not organising any street fundraising events. If you encounter such activities in the public, please be vigilant and call our hotline (65) 65829958 for verification.
The recent fundraising activity, ‘Save For A Good Cause’ campaign, is to encourage the public to give rise to kindness and save a little each day in a Tzu Chi bamboo coin bank, to help those in need. Please note that information on all our fundraising activities will be published on our official English and Chinese websites, and all our volunteers soliciting donations will be in full uniform, with a valid fundraising permit issued by relevant government authorities.
