The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has on Friday issued the guidelines on social exchange platforms, paving the way for the establishment of Malaysia’s first social exchange to facilitate fundraising for social impact projects.

The social exchange will provide a transparent fundraising avenue for non-profit organizations (NPOs) to raise funds for eligible social impact projects, in line with Malaysia’s sustainability and inclusion agenda, the regulator said in a statement.

The SC said the exchange would widen the role of the capital market to support fundraising for Malaysia’s third sector and instilling trust in fundraising by NPOs.

“Aligned with the priorities of the 13th Malaysia Plan, the Social Exchange ensures transparency and accountability in fundraising towards social impact projects,”

“This will strengthen public trust and mobilize more resources towards meaningful social impact,” SC Chairman Mohammad Faiz Azmi said.

The guidelines, issued on Friday, sets out requirements for social exchange platform operators and NPOs, including eligibility, disclosure and mandatory reporting to assure
donors on how funds are utilized and the outcomes achieved.

Applications to operate a social exchange opens today, September 19, 2025.

Accordingly, interested NPOs may review the guidelines to understand and prepare for participation.
