Cimigo conducted a study on Philanthropy in Vietnam amongst the general public in December 2021. Cimgio interviewed 600 people aged 16 to 44 years, living in urban HCMC and Hanoi. The report explains:
- Behaviour and intentions towards philanthropy.
- Drivers towards and causes for philanthropy.
- People’s perception of charities.
Cimigo conducted this study to help raise awareness of charitable giving in Vietnam. The aim is to assist charities in Vietnam understand how people give, why they choose to give to one charity and not another and perhaps more importantly what prevents them from giving more.
The study was conducted in collaboration with two local organisations, Saigon Children and the LIN Centre who share a common passion for the development of philanthropy in Vietnam.
Vietnamese charitable causes
Understanding how the Vietnamese select charitable causes and perceive different charities and organisations in Vietnam will assist both charitable communications and fundraising. It is Cimgio’s hope that this report will help charitable fundraising in Vietnam and enable charities to better meet the needs of their potential donors, determine how best to reach them and which giving or payment methods are the most effective.

The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia. The fact they also pulled off a third project for us so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.
