Donations from businesses to charitable causes have declined sharply since the start of the most recent COVID-19 outbreak, Genesis Social Welfare Foundation said on Friday in a call for help from the public.
Entrepreneurial contributions have declined by 50 percent in the week after the government announced a level 3 COVID-19 alert last month, said the foundation, which is known for providing care to people in a persistent vegetative state.
Business owners have cited the tepid economic outlook amid the pandemic as the main reason for ending their contributions, the foundation said, adding that businesses previously accounted for 80 percent of contributions.

Foundation calls for donations as virus halts fundraisers
By Yang Mian-chieh / Staff reporter
The Genesis Social Welfare Foundation yesterday called for greater public concern for people in vegetative states and their families, saying that nearly two-thirds of its nursing homes last year struggled to make ends meet.
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the implementation of restrictions at nursing homes after the Lunar New Year holiday in January last year, the foundation has seen a decline in donations of supplies and money, it said in Taipei.
As the disease spread in March and April last year, many fundraising events that the foundation hosts with other groups such as road running events, outdoor fairs and charity sales were put on hold, the foundation said, adding that the cancelations greatly affected its income.
