友訊科技慈善基金會
D-Link友訊科技於1994年成立「財團法人友訊科技慈善基金會」,以回饋社會、扶助弱勢為宗旨,秉持著「取之於社會、用之於社會」的精神,致力推廣社會福利與公益慈善事業。20多年來,友訊科技慈善基金會長期參與各項社會公益活動,關懷對象包括兒童、青少年、老人、殘障救助、婦女及醫療弱勢等,期能輔導弱勢和公益團體自給自足,憑自己的力量立足於社會。
投身兒少福利
觀察到偏鄉地區學童與青少年學習資源少、家庭功能健全度不足,導致學習意願低落或課業表現不佳,友訊科技慈善基金會腳步深入偏鄉部落與弱勢社區,自2013年起於各地陸續成立「D-Link 星光教室」,提供在地關懷與照顧。「D-Link 星光教室」服務區域遍及基隆、新北市、花蓮及台東等地,針對國小、國中及部分高中學子提供餐食、課後輔導、才藝課程與諮商;2020年起進一步開辦劍道班、語文表達班與繪畫班等,協助偏鄉兒少陶冶性情、穩定情緒、並培養多元興趣與專長。歷年來共投入逾新台幣1,800萬元於「D-Link星光教室」,超過36萬人次受惠。其中2021年共投注新台幣10萬元資源於「D-Link星光教室」,藉開辦多元課程,擴大學童與青年學子的學習範圍,達到提升知識並強化品格教育之目的,約500人次受惠。
關注老人福利
為配合內政部老人長期照護政策,友訊科技慈善基金會自2018 年起陸續委託社會企業採購熟食餐點,捐贈給弱勢兒童、老人照護據點及安養機構。2021年共捐贈弱勢兒童及老人照護中心100套公益年菜,除了嘉惠弱勢兒童與長者外,亦協助扶植社企夥伴。
Social Engagement Projects
D-Link is the most popular brand in the global consumer networking
market. In addition to providing excellent products and services, D-Link leads
and participates in various social engagement projects through “Care Club” and the
“D-Link Charitable Foundation”. We hope that we can
continue to bring the goodwill of the community and social needs into a more
tight-knit network of love through our caring hands. In 2021, D-Link implemented 8 social engagement projects and invested
around NT$330,000 in resources to benefit children in rural areas, social
enterprises, poor households, the elderly, etc.

Support Public Health Care
D-Link’s headquarters and Taiwan branch have long been
supporters of the blood drives organized by the Taipei Blood Center of the
Taiwan Blood Services Foundation. We participate in the thousand-people blood
drive in Neihu Science Park every year. In 2021, 169 people participated,
donating 252 bags (each 250c.c.) of blood. D-Link provides a friendly
environment for employees to donate blood during lunch breaks and after work.
Employees of nearby companies and residents of neighboring
communities are also invited to participate. We
uphold the spirit of “Donating Blood to Save Lives” and “Spreading Love to Save
Lives” and transform the spirit into practical actions.
Support Employment for People with Disabilities
Starting in 2017, D-Link has supported the “Xinhu
Florist” operated by Taipei City Hospital SongDe Branch through weekly flower
subscriptions. The florist helps those with disabilities to find their
confidence and cultivate skills for self-reliance through pruning flowers and
selling bouquets. Each year, D-Link purchases nearly a hundred bouquets,
helping the disadvantaged to be self-reliant and starting a cycle of love.
Foster Social Enterprises
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most
important holiday for the pomelo farmers of Hualien. It is the primary source
of income for the farmers. Through the sponsorship, we can help to improve the
quality of pomelo farmers life and help develop tribal industries and organic
culture with their spare time, achieving stable growth for the entire village. Each
year the Seed in Land Social Enterprise invites companies to sponsor pomelo
trees and use the harvest of pomelos (around 120kg of organic pomelo) as
Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
Starting in 2013, the Care Club has
launched the “Organic Pomelo Charity Pre-order” project annually within the
company. Agricultural products that use friendly farming methods are introduced
to our employees. This year, we participated in the Seed in Land Social
Enterprise “2021 Pomelo of Happiness” event. Employees were encouraged to
purchase pomelos. The profits provided meals to children tutored by the Hualien
County Growth Holistic Care Association. D-Link participated in meaningful and
good social welfare activities to help pomelo farmers live without worry,
sustainably develop tribal industries and organic culture, provide free meals to
children in rural areas so they do not go hungry, and improve cohesion among
employees.
Encourage Local Revitalization
The Care Club and D-Link Charitable Foundation worked
together to help the Seed in Land Social Enterprise to sell agricultural
products and homemade soap produced by rural tribes. We provided solid support
to tribes through daily consumer behavior. In only 2 hours, NT$37,000 of
products were sold. The profits of around NT$5,000 were used as meal allowances
for children in “D-Link Starlight Classroom”. Around 130 disadvantaged children
benefitted from the project. It proved that just one kind of movement could support
social enterprises, underprivileged children, and rural tribes at the same
time.
