2000年，郭臺銘同首任配偶林淑如成立「財團法人永齡教育慈善基金會」。2008年7月22日，郭臺銘同曾馨瑩訂婚時，宣佈未來將捐出九成個人名下財產作為公益之用，等於將捐一千五百六十億元，而曾馨瑩都簽署咗這項捐贈聲明。2017年3月12日，郭臺銘說當天係亡妻林淑如過世12週年忌日，因癌症造成他與親人永別，因此他想提出一些對乳癌患者提出協助，盡可能根絕乳癌。郭臺銘表示，永齡願意搭起一座橋串起太平洋兩端，把最新技術引入臺灣，可以有更多抗癌武器同資源，打造華人頂尖抗癌平臺。
In 2000, Guo Taiming and his first spouse Lin Shuru established the "Yongling Education Charity Foundation". On July 22, 2008, when Guo Taiming and Zeng Xinying got engaged, they announced that they would donate nine properties in their names for public welfare in the future, which is equivalent to donating 156 billion yuan, and Zeng Xinying also signed this donation statement. On March 12, 2017, Guo Taiming said that it was the 12th anniversary of the death of his deceased wife Lin Shuru, and that he would say goodbye to his relatives because of cancer, so he wanted to propose some assistance to breast cancer patients to eradicate breast cancer as much as possible. Guo Taiming said that Yongling is willing to build a bridge to connect the two ends of the Pacific Ocean and introduce the latest technology into Taiwan, so that there can be more anti-cancer weapons and resources to build a top anti-cancer platform for Chinese people.
