Every giving heart shall plant a seed of love, which will grow and give back to the needy. Based on this belief, Accton Technology Corporation founded Accton Cultural & Educational Foundation in 1999. Accton has committed to care for this beloved place where we established our company and the people who need help. Together with local communities’ loving participation, we hope to bring heaven on earth.

2. Medical Aid: Subsidies for individuals living with severe illness or injury, where treatment is unaffordable to the individuals or their caretakers, and such treatment is not covered by the benefit package of the national health insurance or labor insurance.
3. Funeral Assistance: For people from low-income families who are unable to afford funeral expenses.
4. Disaster Relief: Subsidies for families that are affected in the short term by a serious natural or human-made disaster that has caused economic damage.

Accton Cultural and Educational Foundation has always been committed to improving rural education with our resources. Through sponsoring children’s breakfast and award them with scholarships, they will be able to focus on their studies and create a better future for themselves.

Accton Cultural & Educational Foundation and Hotel Royal Hsinchu have co-hosted the Christmas Make-A-Wish event for 15 years since 2003. Every year before Christmas, we invite over 20 companies in Hsinchu Science Park to fulfill wishes of underprivileged children in the local area by purchasing presents they selected and delivering to them. In 2018, Accton has gathered 20 companies and raised 2941 Christmas presents. A total of 33,752 gifts were delivered since 2003.

For 15 years Accton has collaborated with Taiwan Fund for Children and Families – Hsinchu branch, and offered Hope Scholarships to rural underprivileged youth in Wufeng and Jianshi Junior High Schools. In 2018, NTD$426,800 were awarded. These scholarships are not limited to students who excel in academic performance, but also those who are just hardworking. By awarding these students, they can continue schooling and eventually improve their lives through education. From 2008 to 2018, Accton has offered NTD$5,570,040 for the Scholarships.
