To help needy children treat major diseases, help school-age orphans and impoverished college students complete their studies, and comfort poverty-stricken families during the Spring Festival, the Jiangsu Charity Federation (JSCF) has intensified support since 2005. Base-level charity organizations have developed rapidly and a growing number of needy people have been warmed. By late 2015, Jiangsu's charity federations at all levels had raised a total charity fund of 22.121 billion yuan, ranking first in China.

Also, through the "Sanpower Volunteers Society", Sanpower drove all employees to join long-effective institutional charity campaigns to integrate charity into the cultural gene of Sanpower.
Sanpower's charity efforts are not confined to China. With the business globalization of Sanpower in recent two years, Sanpower's charity has gone global.
