"Fighting for Indigenous Youth" - Supporting Indigenous youths in finding their self-identity through boxing.
The foundation actively promotes a society of mutual understanding and inclusivity. It aims to provide opportunities for the new generation of all groups to showcase their strengths. Through understanding and care, the foundation strives to create a friendly and supportive environment. In 2023, the foundation partnered with The World Association to organize the "Fighting for Indigenous Youth" boxing activities. Excellent Indigenous young boxers mentored by the association served as coaches, providing a stage for them to showcase their confidence. The activities aim for LITEON employees to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural challenges faced by Indigenous communities, learn about diverse cultural values, and embrace the beauty of diversity together.

The LITEON Cultural Foundation was founded in 1993 and was initially funded by private donations from the three founders of affiliated companies, Raymond Soong, Yuan-Shen Lin, and An-Feng Wu. The foundation has been in existence for 31 years.
Over the past 31 years, the Foundation has seen that as times change and society advances, there are still many corners of society that have missed opportunities for growth due to the lack of resources. Therefore, the LITEON Cultural Foundation turned its concern into action by working with schools since 1991. Recognizing the shortcomings in the counseling mechanisms at the time, the foundation established a volunteer team to help support students at risk of dropping out. They introduced extracurricular reading and non-academic materials, using small group counseling to provide companionship and guide the children in finding positive ways to face challenges outside of regular class hours.
In the 2000s, the foundation undertook the Taipei Xinyi Community College to create a lifelong learning platform and work with community partners to contribute to different aspects of society, including education, culture, art, and charity. The college's performance has been rated as "excellent" by Taipei City several times.
Since 2020, Tom Soong has served as the Chairman of the LITEON Cultural Foundation, upholding the foundation's 30-year tradition of caring for people. Recognizing the changing needs of society, and as government resources gradually filled the gaps in lifelong education and counseling, the LITEON Cultural Foundation concluded its phase of campus counseling and community college management, handing these responsibilities over to professional teams. The foundation then shifted its focus to revitalizing holistic education through the four main areas of diversity and inclusion, ecological living, island hydrology, and social welfare. By creating new perspectives while fostering inclusivity across different groups, the LITEON Cultural Foundation aims to help the next generation discover their resilience and inner strength. They hope to help children and adolescents find the courage to pursue their dreams, empowering every dreamer to reach for the stars! |
