Initiatives We Support

Fitness Fundraiser Initiatives

At Online Taxman, we believe in giving back to our community and making a positive impact in the world. That’s why we regularly organize Fitness Fundraisers to support charities that are dear to our hearts.

Our team members participate in a variety of fitness and wellness activities including running, cycling, beach tennis, yoga, meditation, and more. Each activity collects points, and Online Taxman donates a set amount for each point. Their enthusiasm is aways truly inspiring and makes the fundraiser a fun and rewarding experience for everyone.

In our most recent 2023 fitness fundraiser, our team members nominated five organizations that are important to them (see below). We are thrilled to have raise almost $15,000 for these worthy causes.

If this resonates with you, please consider donating to these charities or others that they feel passionate about. (If you want to help Turkey, @ahbap is an NGO on the ground in Gaziantep.)

Every little bit helps, and together, we can make a big impact in the world.

We are proud to make a positive impact and will continue to support charitable causes in the future.

Other Initiatives

Rohingya Refugee Camp

Devastated by what was reported on the news and inspired by one of our clients who had a medical aid station in Bangladesh, we raised money and went to help distribute clothes and health supplies to women and children affected by this terrible tragedy.

Yawanawa Tribe

Vincenzo had the unique opportunity to experience a spiritual retreat in the Amazon. Together with friends, he spent a week with the Yawanawa tribe deep in the Amazon of Brazil. They participated in ancient rituals as well as daily life.

Inspired by what they say and saddened by the lack of opportunity afforded these forgotten people, we have donated books and seeds to this tribe in order to improve their education and do self sustained farming. Furthermore, we want to help sharing this life-changing experience with others and also give the tribe a source of much needed income by inviting other guests into their lives.
