To date, the SRC has received a total of S$600,000 through cash and cheque donations. The money was donated by individuals and corporate organisations.  Due to logistical considerations, SRC requests that no donations-in-kind be made.

All monies collected will be channelled to the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) through the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and funds will be used in the relief operations of the disaster.  The money will also be used during the reconstruction and rehabilitation phase.
