About Us
Time Auction is a charity that advocates volunteerism. We encourage volunteering with inspiring experiences, while connecting skilled-volunteers with NGOs.
By volunteering at any nonprofits, one can earn unique access to their passions — from learning to cook from Michelin-starred chefs to dining with inspiring entrepreneurs. With our volunteer community, we also match professionals who want to volunteer their talent with nonprofits that need those skills.
Time Auction is a registered charity in Hong Kong with reference number 91/15276 under the Inland Revenue Ordinance.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone integrates volunteering as part of their lifestyle, and has an equal opportunity to learn from their role models.
