Guide Dogs Singapore Ltd (GDS) was founded with the mission to help the visually impaired enhance their quality of life. To this end, we focus on providing mobility training to the blind or visually impaired, and pair suitable candidates with Guide Dogs. Our logo shows the close relationship between the person, a guide dog and a white cane, the two cornerstones of our programmes which allow our clients to move independently to participate in the community. The slogan “Enabling The Visually Impaired” reflects our values to provide people with visual impairment with life skills that enable them to be self-sufficient. We are a non-profit social service organisation, accorded Charity status by the Commissioner of Charities. We are registered with the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) as an associate member and hold an Institute of Public Character (IPC) status. The IPC status allows us to give 250% tax relief for direct donations S$10 and above.
