Areas of focus

YongLin Dream Project: supporting outstanding athletes towards the international stage

Support is provided to emerging professional athletes in Taiwan as they advance to international competitions, helping them pursue their dreams without concerns. 

  • In 2018-2019, we supported karate national athlete Wen Ziyun with personal training expenses for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
  • In 2024, we supported young national athlete Li Renyue in achieving the world ranking of No. 1 in the U13 and U11 categories, paving the way for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.


YongLin Dream Project: Supporting National Athletes for the 2024 Paris Olympics

Facing the Olympic arena, Taiwanese athletes are relatively disadvantaged in competitiveness compared to international competitors. Some lesser-known sports have better facilities abroad, and athletes are actively seeking opportunities for overseas training or participating in international competitions to engage deeply with foreign athletes, enhancing their experience and international competitive ability.

In 2024, YongLin Foundation especially supported four young national athletes in their journey to the Paris Olympics:

  • Wu Shiyi
  • Chang Zhuhan
  • Wu Shaoxuan
  • Chen Jie
