Grab Thailand reaffirms its ‘GrabForGood’ mission by extending support to uplift the Thai society, focusing on the three key areas, including advancing medical and public health, creating opportunities for children and people with disabilities, as well as, raising environmental concerns. The initiative received over THB 4 million donations from activities driven by two major campaigns in the previous year. The campaigns also encouraged Grab users to join the donation-making in support of nine charitable organizations and institutions, namely the Ramathibodi Foundation, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Siriraj Foundation, Rajavithi Hospital Foundation, Baan Nokkamin Foundation, The Foundation for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen, Duang Prateep Foundation,  Yuvabadhana Foundation, and TerraCycle Thai Foundation.

Alejandro Osorio, Country Head of Grab Thailand, said, “The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many lives across industries in adverse impacts. To become a part of helping to alleviate difficulties for the Thai people, Grab has launched the two major programmes namely ‘Let’s Fight This Together’ and ‘Double The Happiness,’ in the middle and towards the end of the previous year, respectively. We also encouraged users to participate in these initiatives through donations on our Grab app. For instance, by applying the ‘DONATE’ code or redeeming their collected GrabRewards for donations to support charitable organizations in three key focus areas, including advancing medical and public health, creating opportunities for children and people with disabilities, as well as, raising environmental concerns. With this regard, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all users who have joined our activities. We hope that our platform would be another channel that helps bring positive change to Thai society in the long run.”

Grab Thailand has provided the total donated amount of THB 4,077,758 to nine charitable organizations. The donation came from activities under two campaigns as follows:

• The ‘Let’s Fight This Together’ programme was initiated to support people affected by the COVID-19 crisis during July to September 2021. Users can make donations by applying the ‘DONATE’ code when using Grab services* or turning their GrabRewards into donations to support four charitable organizations, including the Ramathibodi Foundation, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Siriraj Foundation, and Rajavithi Hospital Foundation. The campaign received a total donation of THB 773,255 from users and an additional donated amount of THB 2,234,711, supported by Grab Thailand.
• The ‘Double The Happiness’ campaign was launched to celebrate the end-of-year happiness during December 2021 to January 2022. One of the key highlights includes the launch of “Grab™ Me If You Can” collection — a collaboration with Greyhound Original fashion label, with 10% of the total sales donated to the Ramathibodi Foundation. Users were also invited to give back to the community by applying the ‘DONATE’ code when using Grab services* to support eight charitable organizations, including the Ramathibodi Foundation, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Siriraj Foundation, Terracycle Thai Foundation, Baan Nokkamin Foundation, The Foundation for the Deaf under the Royal Patronage of Her Majesty the Queen, Duang Prateep Foundation, and Yuvabadhana Foundation. The donation totaled up to THB 1,069,792.
