Philanthropic efforts in Vietnam have focused on direct educational support through corporate and community initiatives. For example, Biti's awarded over 1,000 scholarships worth 1.7 billion VND to employees' children, while the Vinh Long Entrepreneurs Club donated 1 billion VND to assist underprivileged freshmen from Vinh Long province.

Following these specific acts of aid, discussions have emerged regarding the need for more strategic national philanthropy. Le Quoc Minh, Chairman of the Human Act Prize Organizing Committee, noted a paradox where aid often follows media visibility, leaving many in need unsupported. He advocated for moving away from “spontaneous and scattered distribution” toward a coordinated framework that addresses long-term developmental needs.
