Important distinction
Different Donations Have Different Purposes
Clear classification helps donors understand how their support is administered.
Specific Sponsorship Donation
A donation expressly given for a named beneficiary or a particular approved welfare need.
- Recorded separately from general contributions.
- No AICSS deduction for administration or official expenses.
- 100% of the amount received is allocated to the stated beneficiary or approved purpose.
- Transfer or application is documented through the appropriate records.
General Welfare Donation
A donation given to support AICSS welfare activities generally, rather than one named beneficiary.
- Used for approved charitable welfare purposes under the applicable financial framework.
- Allocation is guided by programme needs, approved procedures and available funds.
- It is not represented as a 100% pass-through donation to one particular person.
- Its use is recorded and subject to financial oversight.
Honest and responsible assistance
What This Commitment Means
The 100% commitment concerns the handling of a designated donation received.
It does not mean that every request for welfare assistance is automatically approved, or that AICSS guarantees to raise the full amount requested. Assistance remains subject to the applicable programme rules, verification where required, authorised approval and available resources.
AICSS will not divert a designated sponsorship donation to its administration or unrelated official expenses. Any unavoidable external banking, statutory or third-party charge, where applicable, will be handled and disclosed in accordance with the approved policy and applicable law. Such a charge is not an AICSS administrative deduction.
If the stated purpose cannot be completed, or a balance remains, AICSS will deal with the amount in accordance with the donor’s stated terms, applicable law and the approved donation policy.
