Philanthropy isn’t just for the super-rich. It can feel overwhelming, thinking it requires substantial resources like money, time, and energy. But if your heart yearns to make a difference and you’re unsure how much you can contribute, here are some philanthropic acts you can do with low to no cost.

Carbon Offset

When choosing your payment option on Grab, you will see their ‘carbon offset’ feature where you can donate as little as 1 THB. The donation will be used to plant trees.

Tip for service

When you receive excellent service, consider tipping. In industries with lower wages, tips can significantly support service providers and encourage them to maintain high-quality standards.

Spread awareness of a cause

With the social media algorithm, getting noticed becomes harder for these organizations. Help amplify a cause by sharing social media posts from organizations you care about. By sharing on your Instagram story or Facebook, you can increase their visibility.

Hospital donations

Support local communities through donations to hospitals like Siriraj, Rajavithi, Chulalongkorn, and Khon Kaen hospital. Your contribution can make a meaningful impact, and it may also qualify for tax deductions.

Regular random act of kindness

Holding the door open for someone counts as a philanthropist act. It creates a ripple effect of kindness that inspires others to do the same.

🌳 Remember, philanthropy is about the collective impact of our actions. Let’s come together and make a difference, no matter how big or small.
