Jay Chou Has Donated 61.2 Million TWD to Underprivileged Children, Quietly Doing Good for 17 Years: ‘Focus on the Intention, Not the Numbers’

Superstar Jay Chou has been quietly giving to charity for many years. Since 2009, he has continuously contributed every year through the Taiwan Fubon Charity Foundation’s 'Making Friends with Love' program, donating a fixed amount of 3.6 million TWD (about 500,000 MYR) annually to help underprivileged students with their education. Calculating by the annual amount, it is estimated that he has donated at least 61.2 million TWD (about 8.52 million MYR) to date—acts of kindness and warmth that have continued uninterrupted.

The donor list of the Fubon Charity Foundation shows that on September 5, 2025, Jay Chou personally donated 3.6 million TWD (about 500,000 MYR) for education support; on September 5, 2024, he donated 2.16 million TWD (about 300,000 MYR) and 1.44 million TWD (about 200,000 MYR), totaling the same annual donation of 3.6 million TWD (about 500,000 MYR); on September 5, 2023, the annual donation was also made up of 2.16 million TWD and 1.44 million TWD. The records clearly show that Jay Chou has been unwavering over the years, consistently providing support for educational resources.

In response, Jay Chou’s Taiwan label JVR Music has confirmed, 'This case started in 2009, and donations have been made every year to help underprivileged students. This year marks the 17th consecutive year.' However, regarding the amount, when reporters checked with JVR, the company responded modestly, 'We don’t particularly emphasize the amount, but it is true that this has been happening.' It’s apparent that Jay Chou never uses numbers for publicity, once again demonstrating his low-key approach to doing good deeds without fanfare.
