Charity
“No one has ever become poor by giving.” – Anne Frank TRG International is a company who takes charity close to its heart. TRG’s mindset is, “we help where we can”.
“Through all our charity activities, we aim to share our luck and good fortune to those less fortunate and give them hope.”
Every year, TRG International reserves funds for charity programs to help vulnerable communities across Vietnam.
Our commitment to social responsibility has evolved over the years – from annual orphanage visits and fun runs to launching new initiatives to integrate sustainability into our charitable activities.
Through these initiatives, we’ve been able to make meaningful impacts in communities that need support the most.
Charity Activities
At TRG, we believe in the power of giving back. Our aim is to respond timely to urgent appeals and partner with established charitable organizations, who have established presence of communities needing assistance, to maximize our impact.
Our company-wide donation matching program continues to be the cornerstone of our charitable initiatives. Through this program, TRG matches every donation made by employees, effectively doubling the impact.
A recent example of our collective action was our response to Typhoon Yagi – a modest donation of 60 million VND was raised for relief efforts. These funds were donated to the Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee to support recovery and rebuilding efforts in the hardest-hit areas of northern Vietnam.
This collaborative approach creates a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing challenging circumstances.
Joi Foundation
The Joi Foundation represents one of our most consistent charitable partnerships. Founded during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in Saigon, this initiative began as a way to provide food for homeless people when resources were scarce.
TRG regularly supports this program by assembling a dedicated team of enthusiastic volunteers, who are then accompanied by the foundation’s leaders to prepare 150 portions of banh mi. Once prepared, these sandwiches are delivered to homeless individuals throughout Ho Chi Minh City, providing not only nourishment but also a sense of community and support to those in need.
Fun Runs
TRG actively participates in available charity runs throughout the year, which serve dual purposes: raising funds for worthy causes while providing excellent team-building opportunities for TRGers.
The BritCham Fun Run (formerly BBGV Fun Run) has become a tradition that our team eagerly anticipates. The event often attracts over 10,000 participants annually and raises billions of VND for charities across Vietnam. Our PJ’s Coffee booth was also present, offering refreshing beverages to participants throughout the day.
Children’s Cancer Run is another event that we are proud to participate in. Our TRGers took steps to spread hope and stand with young cancer patients on their journey.
These events not only support important causes but also provide our team with opportunities to connect outside the office while contributing to the community.
TRG remains committed to participating in these meaningful community runs whenever they are organized, as they align perfectly with our values of teamwork, community engagement, and social responsibility.
