Reviews for Soar Foundation
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.

I have been a SOAR donor since mid-90's. I like and trust this grass-root charity organization. All workers in SOAR are retired professional volunteers. 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.
