HTC Foundation
The HTC Foundation focuses on promoting character education by working to help children and youngsters develop good character by supporting both schools and teachers. We place great importance upon building up moral character and culture for communities and towns in cooperation with local government, care for disadvantaged families, providing their children with opportunities to receive education, and raising funds for environmental and ecological preservation.
We engage in public interest activities to espouse humanitarianism and contribute to a peaceful and harmonious society. The Foundation plays an important part in community engagement and social services to instill the core values of integrity, honesty, care, love, positive thinking, and respect for natural resources.
The HTC Foundation invested NT$ 22.61 million on education in 2021, while HTC Social Welfare and Charity Foundation spent NT$ 38 million on charity business.
