I am Hsia Choong. My husband and I have been a donor to SOAR Foundation for over ten years. It is a very clear and transparent education charity supporting needing and deserving students mostly from minority races in Taiwan and China. All headquarter workers are volunteers. Many of them are long-term donors themselves. Over 90% of donation money goes directly to the recipient students. No middleman cuts or fees.

The overhead oost is very low (only a few percent for mailing and printing). Most recipients are rural minority students in China. Every year close to two thousand students were benefited from SOAR scholarships.

The Great!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

What I've enjoyed the most with SOAR is that all my donation goes to very needy minority students in rural China. Without it, their minds will be wasted.

Ways to make it better...

My experience would have been better if I had more money to donate a decade ago because more needy students would have been benefied by the donations.
