Hatch provides continuous community support through a number of activities, including: donations to various educational institutions; fundraising for global charities; and providing support to student programs and activities, which are focused on math, science and technology fields.

Within South Africa, Hatch is involved in an ongoing large-scale sponsorship of African Academy - an educational institute for draughts people aimed at the previously disadvantaged. In total, Hatch has contributed R2-million to African Academy, with a recent R1-million grant enabling the school to build a new wing at its Boksburg premises.
