This conceptual paper synthesises insights from influencer credibility, moral-emotional framing, social norm theory, and trust formation in non-profit contexts to propose an integrated framework for digital fundraising influence. The model delineates two pathways – micro-influencer signals and message features – and specifies psychological mediators, including trust, perceived impact, and moral obligation, in micro-influencer marketing operations. Singapore serves as the paper’s case study; the country’s sociocultural environment offers analytical value for other Southeast Asian settings with comparable digital infrastructures. The paper concludes with a research agenda to advance knowledge of micro-influencer digital philanthropy.</p> 2026-09-28T23:26:58Z Text Conference contribution 10.6084/m9.figshare.34018638.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/conference_contribution/Micro-Influencer-Driven_Digital_Philanthropy_A_Case_Study_of_Micro-Influence_for_Good_in_Singapore/34018638 CC BY 4.0
