The PLDT-Smart Foundation: Uplifting the quality of life of each and every Filipino
The PLDT-Smart Foundation Inc. (PSF) is a non-stock, non-profit organization that serves as the social outreach arm of the country's oldest and largest telecommunications conglomerate, the Philippine Long Distance Telecommunications Company (PLDT) and its wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart). In its pursuit of social, political, and economic development, it provides helpful communications tools and various avenues for progress and empowerment through partnerships and tie-ups with non-government organizations, people's organizations and cooperatives throughout the Philippines. Since its inception in 1994, PSF has given more than Php200-million in cash donations for various endeavors.
Headed by PLDT and Smart chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, the PSF is now mainly involved with corporate social responsibility programs focused on seven areas: microfinance, sports, education, juvenile rehabilitation, community building and poverty alleviation, disaster risk management, and support for the arts. All these endeavors have one singular goal – that of fulfilling the needs and uplifting the quality of life of each and every Filipino.
