Change
On 2026-05-25, the Securities Commission Malaysia launched the Social Exchange and introduced Impakrintas as Malaysia’s first regulated social-impact fundraising platform.
Why it matters
The launch creates a regulated fundraising route for eligible Malaysian non-profit organisations. Eligible NPOs can seek donations through the Social Exchange platform and access SC-administered grant support to defray onboarding and fundraising costs.
Implications
- — Eligible Malaysian NPOs must use the Social Exchange route to access the regulated impact-fundraising platform — Impakrintas is the first platform launched under the initiative.
- — NPOs participating on the Social Exchange can seek support from the RM2 million SC-administered grant — the grant is aimed at partially defraying onboarding and fundraising costs.
- — Donors supporting listed Social Exchange projects can rely on the stated tax-treatment route — donations are eligible under subsection 44(6) and paragraph 13(1) of Schedule 6 of the Income Tax Act 1967.
