Social Charity
The ideal of “Care about the Society and Sustainable Development “extended outward from the group to the community as a whole. We work together to build a positive society, allowing people in need to have a hope again. Social charities that we do include:

1. Love from GIGABYTE: At the end of each year the GIGABYTE Education Foundation launches the "Love at GIGABYTE" end-of-year fundraising event. GIGABYTE employees, families, their children and supporters make charitable donations voluntarily through "one-time donation" (one-time deduction from salary for 12-month donations), "regular fixed-amount donation” (fixed amount deduction from monthly salary throughout a year) and "variable donation" (employee decide a donation amount which will be deducted from salary). The funds raised through these three donation methods mainly go to:
   (1) Providing scholarships to students in Xindian district who experience unexpected events in their family
   (2) Donating to the Children's Hearing Foundation's early intervention for hearing impaired children from disadvantaged families
   (3) Donating to the Tzu Chi's long-term welfare dependence and single-parent families
   
2. Major Disaster Charity: GIGABYTE has launched employee donation drive for major domestic and overseas disasters such as 88 Flooding (Typhoon Morakot), Fukushima Tsunami and 206 Earthquake in Tainan . The spirit of charity is part of the GIGABYTE ethos and we always launch fundraising drive right away.
3. Medical Donations: We have donated medical equipment, ambulances, and network environment equipment to hospitals for improving the medical environment, and also provided financial aid for medical treatments to poor patients
4. Computer Equipment Donation: We have donated computer classrooms and computer equipment to a couple of associations which focus on cancer treatment to improve its operational efficiency and convenience.
5. End-of-Year Charity:We donate red envelops, rice, cooking oil to those children and teenagers under living allowances and rag pickers.

Art & Culture Promotion
1. Versatile Art and Culture Promotion: We believe that art and culture activities can enrich people’s daily life, and for a long time we support and promote many types of art and culture activities. We have our own art gallery in the main lobby, and we also hold art & cultural workshops, recreational activities and many other activities. We encourage employees to directly support those low budget performing art groups by attending performances. In general, we hope to enhance employees’ aesthetic literacy, vitalize the art scene, ensure employees have quality leisure time and humanism, and then create a people-oriented corporate culture.
2. Revitalizing the Community through Reading, Art and Culture: Reading, art, and culture help people understand the world better; they also enrich people’s mind. One of our missions is to promote reading and art to the communities. We decided to support the community that was influenced by the 88 Typhoon disaster by organizing reading, art and culture activities, including the following projects:
(1)Trained mothers in the community to become storytellers and reading companions
(2)Created Hope Library and organized Life Education Reading(reading activities about life education)
(3)Hosted Themed Reading Clubs, including “Life Education”, “Identification with the Land” and “Community Reconstruction”
(4)Invited art groups to the community to do storytelling and performance

Purchase of Agricultural Products
Taiwan's agriculture production and distribution system suffers from some inherent limitations that limit the resources available to small farmers. We believe that small farmers who insist on employing environmentally friendly farming techniques should receive more support. To this end, we visit small farmers who practice friendly agriculture and partner with them on organizing internal group buys. Each employee is also given 7,200 Benefit Purchasing Points as an incentive to buy from these farmers. In this way not only our staff can buy cheaper, safer, and fresher fruits and vegetables, we have also seen farmers’ life improved, creating a win-win situation. Besides, when bumper crops or sluggish sales of agricultural products due to changing trade conditions occur and lead to an imbalance between supply and demand, GIGABYTE often partners with nearby businesses and charities to make bulk purchases in order to avoid waste and help the farmers as well. The agricultural products are then distributed to employees, suppliers, as well as local communities. Through promoting local agriculture and quality farm produce of Taiwan, GIGABYTE hopes not only to make new friends but also to help farmers pass through difficult times.
