Every year, TYM Bac Giang supports thousands of members with preferential loans. In 2022, more than 2,000 members received capital support with a total amount of more than 83 billion VND (35 million USD). Of which, 40% was invested in livestock farming, 34% in food business and small trade, and the rest in other projects. Thanks to preferential capital, many members have developed their family economy, got themselves out of poverty sustainably, and improved their quality of life.

The organization's coverage has expanded to 34 communes, wards and townships in Bac Giang city and Lang Giang, Viet Yen, and Hiep Hoa districts.
