Social Responsibility
Since its establishment, TBC Bank is dedicated to contributing to the overall well-being of people throughout Georgia. TBC Bank initiates and finances a broad range of cultural and social projects.
As part of the Bank’s social responsibility projects, TBC Bank founded TBC Fund to help victims of the 2008 war in Georgia. The Bank established TBC Fund with GEL 5 million and, shortly after, raised an additional GEL 3 million for its programs. Currently, TBC fund is a large-scale social project implemented by the Georgian private sector. It mainly aims at improving healthcare for the refugee population and providing opportunities for the young generations of IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons).
In terms of social responsibility, the bank’s goals are to help preserve Georgian history, promote national values, create opportunities in arts and culture, and foster a brighter future for Georgian refugees. The Bank is dedicated to bringing about change that will benefit society in the long term as well as the short term. During 2011, TBC Bank spent a total of GEL 1.0 million on the following projects:
- Restoring historical and architectural monuments;
- Assisting in the development of tourism in mountainous regions of Georgia;
- Promoting arts and culture;
- Supporting Georgian refugees (TBC Fund).
TBC Bank also co-founded the annual literature award, SABA, aimed at rewarding the best literature works of the year since 2003. The annual award ceremony represents one of the major literature-dedicated events in the country. Detailed information available on the following link: Saba
In December 2012, TBC Bank will celebrate its 20th anniversary. In celebration of its anniversary, TBC Bank initiated an exceptional art-related project, 20/12. It is the most innovative project ever implemented in Georgia, as part of which special internet television was launched. It is dedicated to developing art in the country, by helping young artists to express themselves through posting of videos and articles about their own creative work. Additionally, the 20/12 project gives exceptional opportunities to young producers to write their own scripts and make movies with prominent Georgian movie producers.

Famous quotes containing the word social:
“Any one who knows what the worth of family affection is among the lower classes, and who has seen the array of little portraits stuck over a labourer’s fireplace ... will perhaps feel with me that in counteracting the tendencies, social and industrial, which every day are sapping the healthier family affections, the sixpenny photograph is doing more for the poor than all the philanthropists in the world.”
—Macmillan’s Magazine (London, September 1871)
