A giving community · Singapore

Giving should come with a receipt.

ImpacTrak is a small community of people who give together, track where every dollar goes, and publish what actually happened — including when it didn't work.

What we believe

Most people who give never find out what happened. We think that's the part that matters.

We give together.

A circle of 20 to 50 people commits a fixed monthly amount and chooses one cause per cycle. Together, a small gift becomes a real one.

We track everything.

From the moment money leaves your account to what it paid for on the ground. Every cycle produces a receipt, not a thank-you note.

We tell the truth.

Some gifts work. Some don't. We say which is which, so the next cycle gives better than the last.

How a circle works

One cycle, four steps, one receipt.

1

Commit

Each member commits a fixed monthly amount — the first circle starts at S$50. Small enough to sustain, meaningful when pooled.

2

Vote

We shortlist three vetted, tax-deductible charities with a clear, measurable ask. The circle votes. One cause wins the cycle.

3

Give directly

You give straight to the charity through Giving.sg or their own channel. ImpacTrak never touches, holds or routes your money.

4

Receive the receipt

At day 30 and day 90 we report what the money funded, what changed, and what we'd do differently. Then the next cycle opens.

The one rule that never bends: no receipt, no next cycle. If we can't tell you what happened, we don't ask you to give again.
The newsletter

The Receipt

One email per cycle. Written for people who take giving seriously enough to want to know if it worked.

  • What we gave to — and why it beat the other two.
  • What happened to the money — the day-30 and day-90 findings, plainly.
  • What we learned — including the uncomfortable parts.
  • What's up for a vote next — so you have a say before the cycle opens.

No fundraising appeals. No guilt. No filler between cycles.

The rules of the circle

Simple enough to fit on one screen. Strict enough to trust.

  1. A circle is 20 to 50 people. When it's full, we start another one — we don't inflate it.
  2. Everyone commits the same fixed amount per cycle. No one is asked for more.
  3. One cause per cycle, chosen by vote from a vetted shortlist of three.
  4. Money goes directly from you to the charity. ImpacTrak never holds funds.
  5. Every cycle gets a receipt at day 30 and day 90. No receipt, no next cycle.
  6. Failures are reported as plainly as successes.
  7. Anyone can leave at any time, no questions asked.
  8. Your data stays with us and is used only to run the circle and send The Receipt.
A note from the founder
"I spent this year studying how giving works, from effective altruism to its sharpest critics. The thing that stayed with me was how rarely anyone closes the loop."

I'm Jayren. I build companies in Singapore, and for most of 2026 I've been reading, mapping and comparing how the world's giving platforms actually work. The pattern is consistent: the moment of giving is beautifully designed, and the moment of finding out what happened barely exists.

ImpacTrak is my attempt to build the second moment. It starts deliberately small — one circle, in Singapore, with people I can write to by name — because loyalty to a cause is built by giving alongside people you trust, not by scrolling a marketplace.

If you've ever given and wondered, this is for you. If you've ever given and stopped because you never heard back, this is especially for you.

— Jayren
Questions

Things people ask before joining.

Is ImpacTrak a charity?

No. ImpacTrak is a community and a tracking service. It doesn't raise, hold or distribute funds. The charities you give to are the charities; we're the people standing next to you making sure the loop gets closed.

Is my gift tax-deductible?

Because you give directly to the charity, you receive the charity's own receipt. In Singapore, donations to approved Institutions of a Public Character (IPCs) are tax-deductible, and every charity on our shortlist is an IPC. Check the current deduction rate with IRAS.

How are charities vetted?

We look for a specific, measurable ask; a track record of reporting outcomes rather than just activity; and a willingness to answer our day-30 and day-90 questions in writing. If a charity won't commit to the receipt, it doesn't make the shortlist.

What does "verified" on the receipt mean?

It means the charity has confirmed in writing that the funds arrived and what they were allocated to. We're building toward cryptographically sealed receipts so that verification can't be quietly edited later.

What if I only want the newsletter?

That's fine. Choose "Just send The Receipt" and you'll read along without any commitment. Many members start there.

Where does my data live?

Your name and email are stored securely and used only to run the circle and send The Receipt. We follow Singapore's PDPA. You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your record at any time by writing to hey@impactrak.com.
