Abstract:	Why are there so many elderly volunteers in Taiwan? The author hypothesizes and proves that the local culture has distinctive features which explain the phenomenon of active engagement in volunteering among elderly of Taiwan. Through different methods of research, volunteers were measured in terms of factors which could be predominant in motivating a person to volunteer, such as: sex, language, age, educational background, religiosity, familism. Through INDCOL scale the author proves that Taiwanese society is indeed collective and specifically - horizontally oriented. The study explains that Taiwanese people are therefore culturally wired to exhibit altruism, which positively influences volunteerism. Participating in an exploratory survey volunteers, give a prove to it through self-reported motivation in which altruism gets majority. Apart from altruism, other cultural values that are cultivated through generations, such as: religiosity and familism, when embedded into collective society - which is silver-lined with interdependence and communalism - are predominant factors which may be inducing volunteerism on the island according to the author’s exploratory study.
