Wutt Hmone Shwe Yi participated in actor Pyay Ti Oo's Pyay Ti Oo Foundation Fund Raising Concert for students on December 4, 2011. She donated all her artist fees to the foundation.[18]

On February 1, 2015, she donated the golden star from her academy award to the Aungzabu Tawya Monastery in Hmawbi Township, Yangon.[19] During the COVID-19 pandemic, she actively contributed by making numerous donations to elderly individuals facing financial hardship within the movie industry. In the second wave of the pandemic, she and her team donated the masks they produced to people in need.
