History

The Chia Hsin Foundation (嘉新兆福文化基金會) is a Taiwanese cultural and educational foundation. Its registration number, (52)北市教四字第四一八00號, indicates it was established in the 52nd year of the Republic of China (1963), making it, according to its own description, Taiwan's oldest foundation. The foundation was created with the motto '取之於社會,用之於社會' (take from society, use for society), reflecting a philanthropic mission to give back to society through education and culture. Over the decades, the foundation has focused on providing scholarships to underprivileged students, supporting sports talents, and promoting cultural and educational development. One of its long-standing programs is the Chinese Chia Hsin Sports Scholarship (中華嘉新體育獎學金), which has supported athletes such as track-and-field legend Chi Cheng (紀政). In her story on the foundation's website, Chi Cheng recalls that receiving the scholarship significantly improved her family's economic situation, allowing them to buy a house in Hsinchu, and that the scholarship served as both financial support and recognition for young athletes who balanced sports and academics. In recent years, the foundation has expanded its scope to include sustainability and innovation. It offers the Sustainability Power Scholarship (永續力獎學金) and runs talent-development programs like 'Future Navigation' (未來導航), which takes students to visit benchmark enterprises and learn from outstanding professionals. It also partners with Women@Google for empowerment programs, covering topics from sustainability to self-growth. The foundation continues to support disadvantaged students, students with disabilities, and rural education, and it accepts online donations with public disclosure of donation records. Its 'Heart Road Stories' (心路故事) section shares the journeys of scholarship recipients, highlighting the foundation's ongoing impact on individuals and society.
