Last month’s Secular Assembly (24 May 2025) explored Effective Altruism and featured an inspiring presentation by Singapore Red Cross (SRC) on how evidence-based giving transforms lives — from tutoring under-resourced children to supporting vulnerable seniors and disaster-hit communities. Many of you left the session asking, “How can I act on this right away?”
Today, we’re thrilled to announce the answer:
1 · Our new Giving.sg organisation page
We’ve officially registered Humanist Society (Singapore) on Giving.sg — Singapore’s one-stop, government-supported donation portal. Every dollar you give there is channelled directly to vetted local charities, and your tax-deductible receipt is generated instantly. By donating through our page you’ll also fly the humanist flag, showing that people without religion live well and do good.
2 · Launch campaign: Humanists for Red Cross – Grateful Hearts Day 2025
Our first fundraiser Humanists for Red Cross Grateful Heart Day 2025 is now live! We aim to raise S$1,000 in the next 50 days (campaign closes 15 Aug 2025) in support of SRC’s Grateful Hearts initiative. SRC is Singapore’s national humanitarian organisation, mobilising blood donations, emergency relief, and community programmes that uplift children, families, seniors and persons with disabilities.
Call to action — how you can help
