Gifitvism - Live like a Gift
At Tay Bac Converging, Giftivism is more than just a philosophy – it is a way of life – a community lifestyle rooted in the spirit of service through the act of giving "Pay it forward"
Rediscover the Invaluable – The Spirit of Unconditional Giving. While the economic world is built on exchange, Giftivism awakens the belief that humans are born to give and share. It is when we sow a seed of kindness—a smile, a meal, or a product—not for a return, but to keep the flow of goodness moving forward.
At Tay Bac Converging, Giftivism unveils an ecosystem of giving, where Living like a Gift is woven into every message and simple gesture, forming a compassionate and service-oriented community known as the Tay Bac Residents.
'Pay it forward' at our Giftivism Stations, where gifts crafted from the bounty of Tay Bac Converging are wrapped with heart. Here, those who came before have already paid, allowing you to receive—and in turn, pay for the person who follows.
Experience the Leaf Market and the Exchange-and-Contribute Market, where products are not valued in currency, but through the pure act of giving—valued only by a single leaf or a simple smile.


The Community Garden embodies the simple yet profound spirit of Giftivism. Recognizing the immense value a grand garden brings to the collective, every Tay Bac Resident stands united to create small garden plots—without fences or borders—where 'I' dissolves into 'We.'
At the Giftivism Nursery, our gardeners pour their hearts and souls into nurturing plants, with the sole purpose of giving away saplings at $0 to anyone in need.

At the Reading Stations and Radio Thuong, reading culture is not a mere slogan or a bulky library; it is built by the Tay Bac Community through daily acts of giving. Each favorite book is entrusted to the shelves, carrying faith, gratitude, and passion to the next reader, spreading endlessly. Even the small stories of humanity, giving, and gratitude shared on Radio Thuong airwaves cultivate a unique 'self-healing' residential culture.
Giftivism is a cycle of trust and gratitude, where giving does not make us poorer but enriches the meaning of our lives. Every small act creates an invisible bond, nurturing the spirit of service and spreading sustainability. By choosing to live Giftivism, each Tay Bac Resident becomes a seed of happiness and resilience—they are, themselves, a gift.
